#2x^2+12x+3#

Explanation:

Using Division Euclid's with said to us is always possible to divide a number for other same him having rest, then:
#b = aq + r# , com #r < a.#

#b = 2x^4+12x^3−5x^2+9x+3#
#a = x^2−4 #

using #q# for to know how to go in b, we'll have # q = x^2+12x+3#

and #r = 57x+15#

Like this, #2x^4+12x^3−5x^2+9x+3 = (x^2−4)(x^2+12x+3)+ (57x+15)#

Simplifying, for to find q you'll have to test the possibilities for each term of b, for example:
#(x^2-4) * 2x^2 = 2x^4-8x^2# , this result is the first term is b and more something each we'll subtraction in b, and this process will to repeat until us can't do it more.
