The remainder is =2x+12 and the quotient is =x+1

Explanation:

Perform a long division

color(white)(aaaa)x^3+3x^2+4x+12color(white)(aaaa)|x^2+2x

color(white)(aaaa)x^3+2x^2color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaa)|x+1

color(white)(aaaaa)0+x^2+4x

color(white)(aaaaaaaa)x^2+2x

color(white)(aaaaaaaaa)0+2x+12

The remainder is =2x+12 and the quotient is =x+1

(x^3+3x^2+4x+12)/(x^2+2x)=(x+1)+(2x+12)/(x^2+2x)
