Divide the following by long division method and check the result:

Let's start with solving a few of these division problems using the long division method and check the result as requested. We'll go through them step-by-step:

### (a) \( \frac{6a^2 - a - 5}{2a + 1} \)

#### Step 1: Divide the leading term
\[
\frac{6a^2}{2a} = 3a
\]
Multiply \( 3a \) by \( 2a + 1 \):
\[
3a(2a + 1) = 6a^2 + 3a
\]
Subtract this from the original polynomial:
\[
(6a^2 - a - 5) - (6a^2 + 3a) = -4a - 5
\]

#### Step 2: Repeat the division
Now divide the new leading term:
\[
\frac{-4a}{2a} = -2
\]
Multiply \( -2 \) by \( 2a + 1 \):
\[
-2(2a + 1) = -4a - 2
\]
Subtract this from \( -4a - 5 \):
\[
(-4a - 5) - (-4a - 2) = -3
\]

So, the quotient is \( 3a - 2 \) and the remainder is \( -3 \).

Thus, the division result is:
\[
\frac{6a^2 - a - 5}{2a + 1} = 3a - 2 + \frac{-3}{2a + 1}
\]

### (b) \( \frac{5y^2 + y - 6}{y - 1} \)

#### Step 1: Divide the leading term
\[
\frac{5y^2}{y} = 5y
\]
Multiply \( 5y \) by \( y - 1 \):
\[
5y(y - 1) = 5y^2 - 5y
\]
Subtract this from the original polynomial:
\[
(5y^2 + y - 6) - (5y^2 - 5y) = 6y - 6
\]

#### Step 2: Repeat the division
\[
\frac{6y}{y} = 6
\]
Multiply \( 6 \) by \( y - 1 \):
\[
6(y - 1) = 6y - 6
\]
Subtract:
\[
(6y - 6) - (6y - 6) = 0
\]

Thus, the quotient is \( 5y + 6 \), and the remainder is 0. So:
\[
\frac{5y^2 + y - 6}{y - 1} = 5y + 6
\]
