We present a measurement of the spin-dependent cross sections for the {sup 3}He-vector (e-vector,e{sup '})X reaction in the quasielastic and resonance regions at a four-momentum transfer 0.1{<=}Q{sup 2}{<=}0.9 GeV{sup 2}. The spin-structure functions have been extracted and used to evaluate the nuclear Burkhardt-Cottingham and extended Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum rules for the first time. The data are also compared to an impulse approximation calculation and an exact three-body Faddeev calculation in the quasielastic region.
