Solution

Let pz = az3 + 4z2 + 3z - 4Let qz = z3 - 4z + aNow, when pz is divided by z-3, then remainder is p3.Now, p3 = a33 + 432 + 33 - 4=27a + 36 + 9 - 4=27a + 41Now, when qz is divided by z-3, then remainder is q3.Now, q3 = 33 - 4 × 3 + a = 27 - 12 + a = 15+aNow, p3 = q327a + 41 = 15 + a27a - a = 15 - 4126a = -26a = -1
