Rewrite the expression in long division form \"\".

\

Since the second factor has an exponent of -1, this is a division problem

\

\"\"

\

Divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor. \"\"

\

Divide the first term of the last row by the first term of the divisor. \"\"

\

So, the first term of the quotient is x. multiply (x - 3) by x and subtract.

\

\"\"\"\"

\

So, the second term of the quotient is (x - 1) multiply (x - 3) by and subtract.

\

\"\" \"\"

\

The quotient is (x-1), and the remainder is 3. Therefore,

\

\"\"\"\"

\

The result of division form \"\".
