292

Explanation:

To divide by (x + 3 ) you don't have to divide by (x + 3 ) . Using the

Remainder Theorem you just have to evaluate P( - 3 ).

$P (- 3) = {(- 3)}^{4} - 9 {(- 3)}^{3} - 5 {(- 3)}^{2} - 3 (- 3) + 4$ $P(- 3 ) = ( - 3 )^4 -9(- 3 )^3 - 5(- 3 )^2 - 3( - 3 ) + 4$

= 81 + 243 - 45 + 9 + 4

= 292

ie. remainder = 292
