The remainder is #=-4X+1# and the quotient is #=3X+8#

#A=BQ+R#

#Q=# is the quotient

#R# is the remainder

Degree of #R# is #<# the degree of #B#

#A=3X^3+11X^2+4X+1#

#B=X^2+X#

Perform a long division

#color(white)(aaaa)##3X^3+11X^2+4X+1##color(white)(aaaa)##|##X^2+X#

#color(white)(aaaa)##3X^3+3X^2##color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaa)##|##3X+8#

#color(white)(aaaa)##0X^3+8X^2+4X#

#color(white)(aaaaaaaaaa)##8X^2+8X#

#color(white)(aaaaaaaaaa)##0X^2-4X+1#

Therefore,

The remainder is #=-4X+1# and the quotient is #=3X+8#

#(3X^3+11X^2+4X+1)/(X^2+X)=(3X+8)+(-4X+1)/(X^2+X)#
