Dividing Polynomial by a Polynomial ... flaw in TI-89



The TI-89 cant solve the following simple division.

(2x^2-3x-1)/(x+2)

(the answer to this question is 2x-7 with a remainder of 13, the caculator
will not solve) ???

it can solve more difficult equations such as the following.

(x^4+4x^3+2x^2-3x+2)/(x+2)


its seems that if there is any real number in front of the x at the
beginning of the equation it will not solve it ? or is it if there is a
remainder.
