Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
1) divide each term in the numerator by the term in denominator:
(remember when dividing subtract the smaller exponent from larger exponent
for example:
say a is the larger exponent, do 
x^4/x=x^3
5x^3/x=5x^2
3x^2/x=3x
so
x^3+5x^2+3x

f(5) means to replace the x in the equation with 5.
f(5) = 8(5) - 3
f(5) = 40 - 3
f(5) = 37
