Answer

$4x^{2}+x+4+ \displaystyle \frac{3}{x-1}$

Work Step by Step

Dividing with $x-c\qquad...\qquad c=1.$ $\begin{array}{rrrrrr} \underline{1}| &4 &-3&3 &-1 &\\ & &4 &1 &4 &\\ & --&--&--&--&\\ &4 &1 &4 &3 &\end{array}$ Quotient = $4x^{2}+x+4$ Remainder = $3$ $\displaystyle \frac{dividend}{divisor}=quotient+\frac{remainder}{divisor}$ $\displaystyle \frac{4x^{3}-3x^{2}+3x-1}{x-1}$ = $4x^{2}+x+4+ \displaystyle \frac{3}{x-1}$
