To find the remainder of the polynomial \( f(x) = 9x^2 - 50 \) when divided by \( x - 73 \), we can apply the Remainder Theorem. The Remainder Theorem states that the remainder of the division of \( f(x) \) by \( x - c \) is equal to \( f(c) \).

In this case, we will evaluate \( f(73) \):

\[ f(73) = 9(73)^2 - 50 \]

First, calculate \( 73^2 \):

\[ 73^2 = 5329 \]

Now substitute this back into the function:

\[ f(73) = 9(5329) - 50 \]

Now calculate \( 9(5329) \):

\[ 9 \times 5329 = 47961 \]

Now, subtract 50:

\[ f(73) = 47961 - 50 = 47911 \]

Therefore, the remainder when \( 9x^2 - 50 \) is divided by \( x - 73 \) is \( 47911 \).

Since none of the responses you provided match this remainder, please check the options again. The remainder you are looking for is \( 47911 \).
