Use the factor theorem to determine if (x+3) is a factor of
f(x)= x64+3x^3-12x^2+100
----
Comment:: x+3 is a factor if f(-3) = 0
---------------
Rearranging f(x)
f(x) = 3x^3-12x^2 + 64x + 100
f(-3) = 3(-3)^3 - 12(-3)^2 + 64(-3) + 100
-----
f(-3) = 3(-27) - 108 - 132 + 100
----
f(-3) = -81 - 108 - 132 + 100
----
f(-3) = -281
---
Since f(-3) is not zero, x+3 is not a factor of f(x)
