Given x=5 is a zero of the function f(x)=x^3-2x^2-13x-10 write the complete factored form of f(x. \n" ); document.write( "*** \n" ); document.write( "divide f(x) by 5 using long division or synthetic division \n" ); document.write( "using synthetic division:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "...5...|.....1....-2....-13....-10......... \n" ); document.write( "........|.............5......15.....10 \n" ); document.write( "........|.....1......3.......2.......0. \n" ); document.write( "f(x)=(x-5)(x^2+3x+2) \n" ); document.write( "f(x)=(x-5)(x+2)(x+1) \n" ); document.write( "It seems you did not divide correctly. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
