Question 982439
 Use the Factor Theorem to determine whether the first polynomial is a factor of the second. 
x + 3; 2x^3 + x^2 - 13x +6
-----
If x+3 is a factor, f(-3) = 0
-------
Using synthetic division you get:
-3)....2....1....-13....6
.......2....-5....2...|..0

-----
Since the remainder is zero, f(-3)=0, and x+3 is a factor.
