Hhmmm not what the book says.
Try (2x^4 - 3x^3 + x + 1) by (2x^2 + x + 1)

I made a typo. The original problem is number 97 on page 49.
Problem 97
(2x^4 - 3x^3 + x + 1) ÷ (2x^2 + x + 1)
My error is a typo on the second term of the dividend.
The second term is -3x^3 not -3x^2. I will do 97, 99, 101, and 103 all found on page 49.
Note: I don't know how to type long division like you did. I will do my problems on paper and then post my effort and wrong answers in new posts coming a little later today. I haven't done long algebraic division since my days at NYC Technical College in the late 1980s. I took a course called MA175 and got a B minus or C plus. I don't recall the actual grade but I passed the required course. I then went on to take MA185 (Algebra 2 & Trigonometry), which I also passed with a B minus or C plus.

I will now edit my post. I made a typo in the second term of the dividend.
