To solve the problem where \( f(x) = 4x^3 + 5x^2 + 3 \), we need to find the remainder when \( f(x) \) is divided by \( x + 6 \).
Step 1: Use the Remainder Theorem
The Remainder Theorem states that the remainder of a polynomial \( f(x) \) when divided by \( x - c \) is equal to \( f(c) \). In this case, since we are dividing by \( x + 6 \), we can rewrite it as \( x - (-6) \).
Step 2: Calculate \( f(-6) \)
We need to evaluate \( f(-6) \): \[ f(-6) = 4(-6)^3 + 5(-6)^2 + 3 \]
Step 2.1: Calculate \( (-6)^3 \)
\[ (-6)^3 = -216 \] Thus, \[ 4(-6)^3 = 4 \times -216 = -864 \]
Step 2.2: Calculate \( (-6)^2 \)
\[ (-6)^2 = 36 \] Therefore, \[ 5(-6)^2 = 5 \times 36 = 180 \]
Step 2.3: Adding it all together
Now, we combine the results: \[ f(-6) = -864 + 180 + 3 \]
Add them step-wise: \[ -864 + 180 = -684 \] Then, \[ -684 + 3 = -681 \]
Conclusion
The remainder when \( f(x) \) is divided by \( x + 6 \) is: \[ \boxed{-681} \]
