You can put this solution on YOUR website! The description for #1 is wrong. Review the Remainder Theorem. A nonzero remainder means that the factor is not one of the root factors for the function.
You can perform the polynomial division for , very difficult to try to show here. The expression for the remainder will be . The quotient without the remainder will be .
