Q ( 3 ) = x 4 3 x 3 + 2 x 2 + x 3 write the function
= ( 3 ) 4 3 ( 3 ) 3 + 2 ( 3 ) 2 + ( 3 ) 3 substitute the values
=81-3(-27)+2(9)+(-3)-3 evaluate the exponents
=81+81+18-3-3 perform multiplication
=174 remainder
Perform synthetic division to determine the remainder:
polyhorner scheme [ x = 3 ] { x 4 3 x 3 + 2 x 2 + x 3 }
Result:
Q(-3)=174
