We perform the long division as follows:


\\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: {x}^(2) - 2 \\ x - 1 \sqrt{ {x}^(3) - {x}^(2) - 2x + 8 } \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \frac{{x}^(3) - {x}^(2) } { - - } \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: - 2x + 8 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: ( - 2x + 2)/(6)
Hence


{x}^(3) - {x}^(2) - 2x + 8 / x - 1 = {x }^(2) - 2 + (6)/(x - 1)
