The answer is b. The Remainder<span> Theorem says that if a polynomial </span>f(x<span>) is divided by </span>x<span> – k, then </span>the remainder<span> is </span>f(k). k=3 in our case, so the remainder is simply f(3). Plug in x=3 into <span>f(x) = 7x4 + 12x3 + 6x2 - 5x + 16. f(x)=946. So the answer is b.</span>
