Solution Steps
To solve the division of polynomials, we can use polynomial long division. The goal is to divide the polynomial \(-3x^2 - 17x + 13\) by \(3x - 1\) and express the result in the form of quotient plus remainder over divisor.
Step 1: Set Up the Division
We are given the polynomial division problem:
\[
\frac{-3x^2 - 17x + 13}{3x - 1}
\]
Step 2: Perform Polynomial Long Division
We divide \(-3x^2 - 17x + 13\) by \(3x - 1\). The quotient is \(-x - 6\) and the remainder is \(7\).
Step 3: Express the Result
The result of the division can be expressed in the form:
\[
\text{quotient} + \frac{\text{remainder}}{\text{divisor}}
\]
Substituting the quotient and remainder, we get:
\[
-x - 6 + \frac{7}{3x - 1}
\]
