Step-by-step explanation:
By the Remainder Theorem, the remainder when f(x) is divided by x-a is just f(a).
So the remainder when f(x) = x³+3x²+3x+1 is divided by x+1 = x-(-1) is:
f(-1) = (-1)³ + 3×(-1)² + 3×(-1) + 1 = -1 + 3 - 3 + 1 = 0.
That is, the remainder is 0.
Alternatively, recognize this expansion from the Binomial Theorem:
x³ + 3x² + 3x + 1 = (x + 1)³
