Use of the Remainder Theorem. What do you find as remainder when you use synthetic division to check 3 as a possible root of P? Nonzero remainder will be P evaluated at 3.

Set up the synthetic division this way:

3      |      4     -7     0     6     -14
       |
       |
       |_________________________________________
                                       P(3)
