Question 14 • FL-1200330-Algebra 2 CR

What is the remainder when (3x3 – 2x2 + 4x – 3) is divided by (x2 + 3x + 3)?

Answer
A
30
B
3x – 11
C
28x – 36
D
28x + 30

Explanation

When dividing by x² + 3x + 3, use x² = −3x − 3. This gives x³ = x(−3x − 3) = 6x + 9. Substituting into 3x³ − 2x² + 4x − 3 gives 3(6x + 9) − 2(−3x − 3) + 4x − 3 = 28x + 30, so the remainder is 28x + 30.
