Question 1176560: If anyone can show the steps to solve this problem/problem like this, I would really appreciate it. I cannot find a video or example problem from my course on how to solve this.
Given the function f(x) = 4x^3 + 19x^2 − 8x − 15, and knowing one factor is (x + 5), write f(x)as a product of linear factors without fractions.
f(x) =

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
I can instruct you immediately, without the reference to a video lesson.
1. Under given info, simply divide the given polynomial of the degree 3 by the binomial (x+5), using long division, for example.
2. You will get the quadratic polynomial as a quotient.
Find the roots of this quadratic polynomial.
The associated linear binomials will be the factors of your given polynomial of the degree 3.
That's all.
