You can put this solution on YOUR website!
When you are dividing by x+5 you start the process with -5.
\n" ); document.write( "because you are testing the root x=-5 and you are finding
\n" ); document.write( "f(-5) which in your problem turns out to be zero, indicating
\n" ); document.write( "that -5 is a root and x=5 is a factor of your 4th degree
\n" ); document.write( "polynomial.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "I have put in the intermediate step in the synthetic
\n" ); document.write( "division process. Does that help you understand
\n" ); document.write( "how I arrived at the Quotient and Remainder?
