**Problem 5: Long Division of Polynomials**

Use long division to find the quotient \( Q(x) \) and remainder \( R(x) \).

Given polynomials:
\[ P(x) = 6x^3 - 2x^2 + 4x - 1 \]
\[ d(x) = x - 3 \]

### Steps:

1. **Divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor:**
   - \(\frac{6x^3}{x} = 6x^2\)

2. **Multiply the entire divisor by this result:**
   - \(6x^2 \times (x - 3) = 6x^3 - 18x^2\)

3. **Subtract the result from the original polynomial:**
   - \((6x^3 - 2x^2 + 4x - 1) - (6x^3 - 18x^2) = 16x^2 + 4x - 1\)

4. **Repeat the process with the new polynomial:**
   - \(\frac{16x^2}{x} = 16x\)
   - \(16x \times (x - 3) = 16x^2 - 48x\)
   - \((16x^2 + 4x - 1) - (16x^2 - 48x) = 52x - 1\)

5. **Continue division:**
   - \(\frac{52x}{x} = 52\)
   - \(52 \times (x - 3) = 52x - 156\)
   - \((52x - 1) - (52x - 156) = 155\)

The final quotient is \( Q(x) = 6x^2 + 16x + 52 \) and the remainder is \( R(x) = 155 \).
