To divide $(x^4 - x^2 - 5)$ by $(x^2 + 4x - 1)$ using long division, we start by dividing $x^4$ by $x^2$, which gives $x^2$. Multiplying $x^2$ by the divisor $(x^2 + 4x - 1)$ and subtracting from the dividend gives a new polynomial. Repeating this process, we find that the quotient is $x^2 - 4x + 16$ with a remainder of $-68x + 11$. Therefore, the complete division is $x^2 - 4x + 16 + \frac{-68x + 11}{x^2 + 4x - 1}$.
