We use long division to divide
There is no x term in x^2 -1 so we put 0x
x + 1
----------------------------
x^2+0x-1 x^3+ x^2 + x+ 2
x^3+0x^2-x
-----------------------------(subtract the bottom from top)
x^2 +2x + 2
x^2 +0x - 1
--------------------------------(subtract the bottom from top)
2x + 3
-----------------------------------------
Quotient : x+1
Remainder : 2x+3
