To find the remainder of the polynomial when divided by (x - 3), we can use the Remainder Theorem. According to this theorem, the remainder of the division of a polynomial p(x) by (x - a) is equal to p(a). In this case, we will evaluate p(3).
Steps to Find the Remainder:
1.Identify ( a ):
Since we are dividing by (x - 3), we set ( a = 3 ).
2.Evaluate p(3):
3.Calculate each term:
