Find the real or imaginary solution of each equation by factoring.
1: X^3 + 2x^2 + 5x + 10 = 0
------------
I graphed it and found a Real root at x = -2
----
Then, using synthetic diviaion got::
-2)....1....2....5....10
.......1....0....5...|..0
-------------------
Quotient:: x^2 + 5
---------
Factored form::
f(x) = (x+2)(x^2+5)
Factor to get:
Ans: (x+2)(x+sqrt(5)i)(x-sqrt(5)i)
