Step 1: Identify the polynomial and the divisor. The polynomial is P(x)=3x3+6x1P(x) = 3x^3 + 6x - 1. The divisor is x3x - 3.

Step 2: Apply the Remainder Theorem. The Remainder Theorem states that if a polynomial P(x)P(x) is divided by xcx - c, the remainder is P(c)P(c). In this problem, c=3c = 3. Therefore, we need to evaluate P(3)P(3).

Step 3: Substitute x=3x = 3 into the polynomial. P(3)=3(3)3+6(3)1P(3) = 3(3)^3 + 6(3) - 1

Step 4: Calculate the value of P(3)P(3). P(3)=3(27)+181P(3) = 3(27) + 18 - 1 P(3)=81+181P(3) = 81 + 18 - 1 P(3)=991P(3) = 99 - 1 P(3)=98P(3) = 98

The remainder is 9898.

Comparing this result with the given options: A) 98 B) 97 C) 96 D) 95

The correct answer is A.

The final answer is A)98\boxed{A) 98}.
