Answer: C. x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following expression:

$\frac{x^{4} -2x^{3} +x-2}{x^{3}+1}$

Factoring in the numerator:

$\frac{x(x^{3}+1)-2(x^{3}+1)}{x^{3}+1}$

Factoring again in the numerator with common factor $x^{3}+1$ :

$\frac{(x^{3}+1)(x-2)}{x^{3}+1}$

Simplifying:

$x-2$

Hence, the correct option is C. x-2

As we know that the standard equation of circle is ${\bf{(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}}}$ , where r is the radius of circle and centre at (h,k) 

Now , as the circle passes through (2,9) so it must satisfy the above equation after putting the values of h and k respectively

${:\implies \quad \sf \{2-(-1)\}^{2}+(9-5)^{2}=r^{2}}$
