Answer:

Explanation:

The given polynomial expression is

-2x^3-4x^2+3x+2. We want to divide it by x - 3.

Let us test if x = 3 is a factor of the polynomial by substituting x = 3 into the polynomial. It becomes

-2(3)^3-4(3)^2+3(3)+2 = - 54 - 36 + 9 + 2 = - 79

x - 3 is not a factor. We would apply the long division method. It is shown in the attached photo
