You need to use polynomial long division to divide \"x%5E3+%2B+cx+%2B+d\" by \"x+%2B+1\". Remember to include the missing \"x%5E2\" term, so your dividend becomes \"x%5E3+%2B+0x%5E2+%2B+cx+%2B+d\". Rendering polynomial long division on this site is very difficult, so I'm just going to hope you know how to do that. You will find that the remainder is \"d+-+%28c+%2B+1%29\" which you are told is equal to 3.\r
