I have a question about the remaining factors.
\n" ); document.write( "If you have an equation of x^3+5x^2=2x-8 how do you find the remaining factors, if you know that one factor of the equation is (x+4)?
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Rearrange the equation:
\n" ); document.write( "x^3+5x^2-2x+8 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Divide the cubic by x+4 using long division or synthetic division:
\n" ); document.write( "-4)....1....5....-2...8
\n" ); document.write( ".......1....1....-6...|32\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This indecates that (x+4) is NOT a factor of the cubic.
\n" ); document.write( "I graphed the cubic and found its only Real Number zero
\n" ); document.write( "is around -5.610606...\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "------------------
