The quotient is =(x+8) and the remainder is =-(8x+24)

Explanation:

Perform the long division

color(white)(aaaa)x^3+8x^2-3x+16color(white)(aaaa)|x^2+5

color(white)(aaaa)x^3+0x^2+5xcolor(white)(aaaaaaaa)|x+8

color(white)(aaaaa)0+8x^2-8x+16

color(white)(aaaaaaa)+8x^2+0x+40

color(white)(aaaaaaaaa)+0-8x-24

Therefore,

(x^3+8x^2-3x+16)/(x^2+5)=(x+8)-(8x+24)/(x^2+5)

The quotient is =(x+8) and the remainder is =-(8x+24)
