Question
**Long Division of Polynomials**

Use long division to find the quotient \( Q(x) \) and the remainder \( R(x) \) when \( P(x) \) is divided by \( d(x) \). Express \( P(x) \) in the form \( d(x) \cdot Q(x) + R(x) \).

Given:
\[ P(x) = x^3 + 5x^2 - 2x + 176 \]
\[ d(x) = x + 8 \]

To perform the division, set up the expression:

\[ P(x) = (x + 8) \left(\text{Quotient}\right) + \text{Remainder} \]

Follow these steps to solve:

1. **Divide the leading term of \( P(x) \) by the leading term of \( d(x) \)**.
2. **Multiply the entire divisor \( d(x) \) by this result** and subtract from \( P(x) \).
3. **Repeat the process** with the new polynomial formed after subtraction until the degree of the remaining polynomial is less than the degree of \( d(x) \).

This helps in finding the complete polynomial division where \( P(x) = d(x) \cdot Q(x) + R(x) \).
