Question 43795: This one is stumping me. Can anyone show me the steps and solution?
Factor each polynomial completely, given that the binomial following it is a factor of the polynomial.

x³ - 4x² - 3x – 10, x – 5

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(x - 5) = 0
x = 0 ....... take coefficients of x³ - 4x² - 3x – 10
5....|.........1.........-4..........-3..........-10
...5 * .........1....5 + -4 = 1.....5 + -3 = 2.......10 + -10 = 0
1 .... 1 .... 2
x^2 + x + 2
