Threshold Testing for Actuarial Formulas

An actuary is reviewing a rate adjustment formula modeled by the polynomial f(x)=x3+4x+15f(x) = x^3 + 4x + 15. To test the formula's accuracy at a specific threshold, the actuary needs to find the remainder when the polynomial is divided by the factor x+2x + 2. Using the Remainder Theorem, what is the final numerical value of this remainder?
