Determine whether -3 is a root of x^3+3x^2+x+1=0. Please explain and show work.

I got 40. So since it did not equal 0, -3 is not a root, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry you don't have to flip it just sub in (-3) as x will do i don't think you'll get 40, but it isn't equal to zero either

I got -27. Thanks so much!
