To divide the polynomials (6m^4n^5 - 6m^3n^4 - 2m^2n^3 - 7) by (m^2n), we can use long division.
-----------
m^2n | 6m^4n^5 - 6m^3n^4 - 2m^2n^3 - 7
First, we divide the highest power of the dividend by the highest power of the divisor. In this case, it is (6m^4n^5)/(m^2n) = 6m^2n^4.
6m^2n^4
-----------
m^2n | 6m^4n^5 - 6m^3n^4 - 2m^2n^3 - 7
Next, we multiply (6m^2n^4) by (m^2n) to get (6m^4n^5) and subtract it from the dividend.
6m^2n^4
-------------------------
m^2n | 6m^4n^5 - 6m^3n^4 - 2m^2n^3 - 7
- (6m^4n^5 - 6m^3n^4)
This simplifies to:
6m^2n^4
-------------------------
m^2n | 6m^4n^5 - 6m^4n^5 + 6m^3n^4 - 2m^2n^3 - 7
= 6m^3n^4 - 2m^2n^3 - 7
Now, we repeat the process with the new dividend (6m^3n^4 - 2m^2n^3 - 7).
We divide the highest power of the new dividend by the divisor. In this case, it is (6m^3n^4)/(m^2n) = 6mn^3.
6m^3n^4 - 2m^2n^3 - 7
----------------------
m^2n | 6m^3n^4 - 2m^2n^3 - 7
Next, we multiply (6mn^3) by (m^2n) to get (6m^3n^4) and subtract it from the new dividend.
6m^3n^4
----------------------
m^2n | 6m^3n^4 - 2m^2n^3 - 7
- (6m^3n^4 - 6m^2n^3)
This simplifies to:
6m^3n^4
----------------------
m^2n | 6m^3n^4 - 2m^3n^4 + 2m^2n^3 - 7
= -2m^3n^4 + 2m^2n^3 - 7
Now, we repeat the process with the new dividend (-2m^3n^4 + 2m^2n^3 - 7).
We divide the highest power of the new dividend by the divisor. In this case, it is (-2m^3n^4)/(m^2n) = -2mn^3.
-2m^3n^4 + 2m^2n^3 - 7
-------------------------
m^2n | -2m^3n^4 + 2m^2n^3 - 7
Next, we multiply (-2mn^3) by (m^2n) to get (-2m^3n^4) and subtract it from the new dividend.
-2m^3n^4
--------------------------------
m^2n | -2m^3n^4 + 2m^2n^3 - 7
- (-2m^3n^4 + 2m^2n^4)
This simplifies to:
-2m^3n^4
--------------------------------
m^2n | -2m^3n^4 + 2m^2n^3 - 7
= 2m^2n^3 - 7
Finally, we have a new dividend of (2m^2n^3 - 7).
We divide the highest power of the new dividend by the divisor. In this case, it is (2m^2n^3)/(m^2n) = 2n^2.
2m^2n^3 - 7
----------------
m^2n | 2m^2n^3 - 7
Next, we multiply (2n^2) by (m^2n) to get (2m^2n^3) and subtract it from the new dividend.
2m^2n^3
------------------------
m^2n | 2m^2n^3 - 7
- (2m^2n^3)
This simplifies to:
2m^2n^3
------------------------
m^2n | 2m^2n^3 - 2m^2n^3 - 7
= - 7
So, the quotient of (6m^4n^5 - 6m^3n^4 - 2m^2n^3 - 7) divided by (m^2n) is 6m^2n^4 + 6mn^3 + 2n^2 with a remainder of -7.
To check our answer, we can multiply the quotient by the divisor and add the remainder:
(m^2n)(6m^2n^4 + 6mn^3 + 2n^2) + (-7)
= 6m^4n^5 + 6m^3n^5 + 2m^2n^6 - 7
This is equal to the original dividend, so our answer is correct.

The quotient is x^2 - 27x + 78 + (1 / (x + 3)), and the remainder is -26.
To check our answer, we can multiply the quotient by the divisor and add the remainder:
