The image you have provided shows a polynomial long division problem. The expression inside the division bracket appears to be a polynomial:

\[
2x^5 - x^4 + 0x^3 - 0x^2 - 2x + 1
\]

It is being divided by \(x - 2\).

### Here's how to approach polynomial long division:

1. **Divide the first term**: 
   Divide \(2x^5\) by \(x\). This gives \(2x^4\).

2. **Multiply**:
   Multiply \(2x^4\) by \(x - 2\), which gives:
   \[
   (2x^4)(x - 2) = 2x^5 - 4x^4
   \]

3. **Subtract**:
   Subtract \(2x^5 - 4x^4\) from the original polynomial:
   \[
   (2x^5 - x^4) - (2x^5 - 4x^4) = 3x^4
   \]

4. **Repeat the process**:
   - Divide \(3x^4\) by \(x\), which gives \(3x^3\).
   - Multiply \(3x^3\) by \(x - 2\), getting \(3x^4 - 6x^3\).
   - Subtract again, and continue this process until all terms are processed.

### Here are 5 related questions to consider:
1. How does polynomial long division differ from synthetic division?
2. Can polynomial division result in a remainder, and how is it handled?
3. What happens if the divisor is a binomial with more than a degree of 1 (e.g., \(x^2 + bx + c\))?
4. What are the practical applications of polynomial long division?
5. How does the degree of the polynomial affect the number of steps in long division?

### Tip:
Always ensure the terms of both the dividend and the divisor are in descending order of degree before starting polynomial long division.
