    Polynomial Division: Finding Q(X) and R(X)

    You let Q(x) = Ax + B and R(x) = Cx + D. Substitute it into the equation and you'll get (X^2 + 4X + 16)(Ax + B) + (Cx + D). The next step is for you to expand the above expression as per normal. Then you group the terms according to the degree of x and then equate the coefficients accordingly...
