For this case we have the following expression:

(5x+1)/(x^2-9)
The first thing you should observe is that the denominator degree is greater than the numerator degree.
Therefore, the division can not be made.
However, we can rewrite the expression.
For this, we factor the denominator.
We have then:

(5x+1)/((x-3)(x+3))
Answer:
5x+1 divided by x^2-9 is:

(5x+1)/((x-3)(x+3))
