Multiple Choice

A resource analyst is manually verifying the polynomial division (x3βˆ’x2+x+4)Γ·(x+1)(x^3 - x^2 + x + 4) \div (x + 1) used in a shipping cost model. After identifying the first term of the quotient as x2x^2 and subtracting the first product from the dividend, the analyst is left with the leading term βˆ’2x2-2x^2. According to the standard long division process, what is the second term of the quotient?
