SOLUTION

The given polynomail is


3x^3-4x^2-14x+3

To be divided by


3x+5

Since the question requires to find the remainder

Then following remainder theorem

Set 3x+5 to zero and solve for x


\begin{gathered} 3x+5=0 \\ x=-(5)/(3) \end{gathered}

Substitute x=-5/3 into the given polynomial to get the remainder


\begin{gathered} 3(-(5)/(3))^3-4(-(5)/(3))^2-14(-(5)/(3))+3 \\ =3(-(125)/(27))-4((25)/(9))+14((5)/(3))+3 \\ =-(125)/(9)-(100)/(9)+(70)/(3)+3 \\ =(-125-100+210+27)/(9) \\ =(12)/(9) \\ =(4)/(3) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the remainder is


(4)/(3)
