Answer:

87

Explanation:

Following the remainder theorem, we would evaluate the function by the inverse of the constant in the binomial.

The binomial is (x - 5), and the constant in the binomial is -5.

We will evaluate the equation by the inverse, 5:

f(5) = 5² + 14(5) - 8

f(5) = 25 + 14(5) - 8

f(5) = 25 + 70 - 8

f(5) = 87

The remainder is 87.
