1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
I need to figure out how to factor the polynomial x^3 - 2 in the field F_13[x]/(x^3 - 6) in MAPLE. I can't find any examples anywhere and the help functions are sending me on the right path.

3. The attempt at a solution
I know how to define the Galois field, mainly by

GF(13, 3, x^3-6)

I can't however figure out how to factor in this field. Help!
