x^3 + kx^2 - 72  (x+3)

accessdenied · Answer

Same process as previously, except we have to include a '0' in place of the linear term.

-3 |     1                   k                     0                    -72

--------------------------------------------------
                                                                         (remainder)
Then we just set the expression we find for remainder equal to zero and solve for k.

Think you can do this one now?  :)
