If x-1 is a factor, then this root should be +1. 
1   |   3   4   -13    6
    |
    |       3    7    -6
    |_________________________
       3    7    -6    0

Next, try to factorize 3x%5E2%2B7x-6.

%283x-2%29%28x%2B3%29

The complete factorization of 3x%5E3%2B4x%5E2-13x%2B6 is %28x-1%29%28x%2B3%29%283x-2%29.
