x^3-kx^2-6x+8;x+2 Answer by josgarithmetic(39618) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You literally perform long division on the polynomials. Divide the by . Watch each step extremely carefully. In the last subtraction, if you did you algorithm correctly, you should have something equivalent to , and THIS MUST EQUAL ZERO, if the divisor, is to be a binomial factor of the dividend cubic polynomial. Set and find .
