The correct Answer is:
To find the remainder when the polynomial \( 3x^3 + 8x^2 - 6x + 1 \) is divided by \( x + 3 \), we can use the Remainder Theorem. According to the Remainder Theorem, the remainder of the division of a polynomial \( f(x) \) by \( x - c \) is equal to \( f(c) \). In our case, we need to evaluate the polynomial at \( x = -3 \) (since we are dividing by \( x + 3 \)). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the polynomial and the divisor**: The polynomial is \( f(x) = 3x^3 + 8x^2 - 6x + 1 \) and the divisor is \( x + 3 \). 2. **Use the Remainder Theorem**: To find the remainder, we need to evaluate \( f(-3) \). 3. **Substitute \( x = -3 \) into the polynomial**: \[ f(-3) = 3(-3)^3 + 8(-3)^2 - 6(-3) + 1 \] 4. **Calculate each term**: - Calculate \( (-3)^3 \): \[ (-3)^3 = -27 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 3(-27) = -81 \] - Calculate \( (-3)^2 \): \[ (-3)^2 = 9 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 8(9) = 72 \] - Calculate \( -6(-3) \): \[ -6(-3) = 18 \] - The constant term is \( 1 \). 5. **Combine all the terms**: \[ f(-3) = -81 + 72 + 18 + 1 \] 6. **Perform the addition**: - First, combine \( -81 + 72 \): \[ -81 + 72 = -9 \] - Then add \( 18 \): \[ -9 + 18 = 9 \] - Finally, add \( 1 \): \[ 9 + 1 = 10 \] 7. **Conclusion**: The remainder when \( 3x^3 + 8x^2 - 6x + 1 \) is divided by \( x + 3 \) is \( 10 \). ### Final Answer: The remainder is \( 10 \).
