Find the quotient when \(4x^2 + 7x - 3\) is divided by \(2x + 1\).
solve
To find the quotient, we can use long division or synthetic division.
Using long division:
```
2x + 1 | 4x^2 + 7x - 3
-(4x^2 + 2x)
------------------
5x - 3
-(5x + 2)
-----------
-5
```
Therefore, the quotient is \(2x + 5\) with a remainder of -5.
