Explanation:

Let's do the long division

color(white)(aaaa)5x^4+14x^3+9xcolor(white)(aaaa)x^2+3x

color(white)(aaaa)5x^4+15x^3color(white)(aaaaaaaaa)5x^2-x+3

color(white)(aaaaaa)0-x^3

color(white)(aaaaaaaa)-x^3-3x^2

color(white)(aaaaaaaaaa)0+3x^2+9x

color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaa)+3x^2+9x

color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)0+0

(5x^4+14x^3+9x)/(x^2+3x)=5x^2-x+3

The quotient is =5x^2-x+3
