Please help What are all the real and complex roots of the polynomial x^3 − 5x^2 − x + 5, given that one root is x = -1

OpenStudy (gebooors):

You have to divide polynom with x+1. Them you get a polynome of second degree

OpenStudy (jkbo):

@Gebooors I need help with that

OpenStudy (gebooors):

Start from this: x + 1 | x^3 - 5x ^2 - x + 5

OpenStudy (gebooors):

X^2 x + 1 | x3 - 5x2 - x + 5 You Multiply X+1 with x^2 you get x^3 + x^2 You put it below. X3 -5x2 and subtract

OpenStudy (gebooors):

Sorry, you get x^3 + 5x^2

OpenStudy (gebooors):

It is difficult to write here, but you eliminate always termiä of highest Degree.
