Hi,
The factor theorem states that a polynomial f(x) has a factor (x − k) if and only if f(k) = 0.
k being a 'solution'
+s%28s%2B3%29=0+
s = +highlight_green%280%29 0r (s+3) = 0, s = +highlight_green%28-3%29 | 0%2A3+=+0. %28-3%2B3%29+=+0
+4a%28a-6%29=0+
4a = 0, a = +highlight_green%280%29 0r (a-6) = 0, a = +highlight_green%286%29 | 4%2A0+=+0. %286-6%29+=+0
+3m%28m%2B5%29=0+
3m = 0, m = +highlight_green%280%29 0r (m+5) = 0, m = +highlight_green%28-5%29 | 3%2A0+=+0. %28-5%2B5%29+=+0
