Question

Find the remainder when f(x) is divided by (x - k). f(x) = 3x3 - 4x2 - 3x + 14; k= 3

Answer 1

Let's use synth. div. It's so much faster in cases such as this one.

Use k = 3 as your divisor. Then:

________________
3 / 3 -4 -3 14
9 15 36
-------------------------
3 5 12 50 <= the remainder is 50.
