%28x%5E4+-+3x%5E3+%2B+4x%5E2+-+x+%2B+1%29+%2F+%28x%5E2+%2B+x+-+3%29
Using long division:
         x^2 +  (-4x)   +  11
         _________________________________________
x^2+x-3 /x^4 +  (-3x^3) +   4x^2  +   (-x) +     1
         x^4 +     x^3  + (-3x^2)
         ------------------------
                 -4x^3  +   7x^2  +   (-x)
                 -4x^3  + (-4x^2) +   12x
                 -------------------------
                           11x^2  + (-13x)  +    1
                           11x^2  +   11x   + (-33)
                           ------------------------
                                     -24x   +   34
