P(x)=3x^3+7x^2-2x-6
(x-3)

P(3)= 3*3^3+7*3^2-2*3+6
p(3)=81 +63-6+6=144

P(-2)= 3(-2)^3+7(-2)^2-2(-2)+6
P(-2)=-24+28+4+6=14

P(5)= 3(5)^3=7(5)^2-2(5)+6
P(5)=375+175-10+6=546
instructor probably just wanted you to recognize remainder theorem, and calc P(x)
please excuse all the commas, just trying to allign numbers
