hmm i think you made a slight mistake

lgbasallote · Answer

x^2 + 4x + 3
         ______________________   
x - 1 | x^3 + 3x^2 - x + 2
           x^3 - x^2
           =======
                       4x^2 - x
                       4x^2 - 4x
                       ========
                                    3x + 2
                                    3x - 3
                                     ======
                                             5

$$\implies x^2 + 4x + 3 + \frac{5}{x-1}$$
got it?
