To find the remainder when the polynomial is divided by (x + 1), we will 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, since we are dividing by (x + 1), we can rewrite this as (x - (-1)), so we need to evaluate p(-1).
Steps to Find the Remainder:
1.Identify ( a ):
Since we are dividing by (x + 1), we set ( a = -1 ).
2.Evaluate p(-1):
3.Calculate each term:
