<h3>Answer: Remainder = 3</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
The remainder theorem says that if we divide some polynomial p(x) over (x-k), then p(k) is the remainder.
The expression x+1 is the same as x-(-1). Comparing this to x-k shows k = -1.
So we'll need to evaluate p(-1)
To do so visually, draw a vertical line through -1 on the x axis. Make sure this vertical line crosses the blue curve at some point, which I'll call point A.
From point A, draw a horizontal line to the y axis. You should reach y = 3.
This is all shown in the diagram below.
In other words, the point (-1,3) is on the blue curve, and p(-1) = 3.
So the remainder is 3.
