Try to factor and see if that helps (in case numerator is factorable).
            3x^3    -24x^2   221x   -1768
       _____________________________________________
x+8    |    3x^4     0x^3    29x^2    0x    36
       |    3x^4    24x^3
       |___________________________________________
            0      -24x^3   29x^2
                   -24x^3  -192x^2
                  ---------------
                    0     221x^2     0x
                          221x^2  1768x 
                         --------------
                           0    -1768x     36
                                -1768x   -14144 
                                ----------------
                                 0      14180, the remainder

3x%5E4-24x%5E3%2B221x-1768-14180%2F%28x%2B8%29

This person is WRONG, as usual. Try dividing the polynomial yourself. Take your time and get it right. 

If you do, you should get:
