Algebra.Com's Answer #377261 by jsmallt9(3758)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! \n" ); document.write( "To find the other factors we start by dividing by the known factor, x+5. I prefer synthetic division over long division: \n" ); document.write( " \r\n" ); document.write( "-5 | 1 2 -33 -90\r\n" ); document.write( "--- -5 15 90\r\n" ); document.write( " --------------------\r\n" ); document.write( " 1 -3 -18 0\r\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "The remainder, in the lower right corner, is zero. This is to be expected when x+5 was supposed to be a factor. The other factor is found in the front of the remainder: 1 -3 -18. This translates into \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "So your expression, fully factored, is: \n" ); document.write( " |
