Have you done long division with polynomials before ?

no

Yeah, you don't need to long-divide to do it. Just factor the larger polynomial by grouping. So if you group the first two terms as $(2x^{3}-x^{2})+(-24x+12)$ now you can factor out $x^{2}$ from the first group, and factor out -12 in the second group. You get $x^{2}(2x-1)-12(2x-1)$ Now because $2x-1$ is in both terms, then you can factor this out of each term and get $(2x-1)(x^{2}-12)$ Therefore $(2x^{3}-x^{2}-24x+12)\div (2x-1) = \frac{2x^{3}-x^{2}-24x+12}{2x-1}=\frac{(2x-1)(x^{2}-12)}{2x-1}$ From this you can see that you can cancel a factor of $2x-1$ Therefore this becomes just $x^{2}-12$ which is the correct answer. I have no idea what the rest of the questions are asking, but you should try to do them yourself now that you have this much anyway.
