Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
y = 3x^6 +18x -27
factor it and let z=x^3
= 3(z^2+ 6z +9)
= 3(z +3)(z+3)
= 3(x^3+1)(x^3+1)
= 3(x+1)(x^2 -x +1)(x+1)(x^2 -x+1)
if you divide the original 6 degree polynomial by any of its factors the quotient is the product of the other factors and the remainder = 0
but I just made the problem more factor-able.
as given It reads
3x^6+82x^3 +27
divide that by x+1, by long or synthetic division and you get a remainder
-1 3 0 0 82 0 0 27
quotient = 3 -3 3 79 -79 79 -46 where -46 is the Remainder of -46/(x+1) is the Remainder
so x+1 is not a factor of the 6 degree polynomial
