|dw:1420435904051:dw| see if that makes sense first

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

divisor was \((x+5)\) which had \(+5\) so i took took the negative of \(+5\) that is \(-5\) then i placed down the coefficients of the equation that is \(5~~21~~0~~-5\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, I didn't add the zero >-< . I you multiplied the -5 by the 5 21 0 and -5. Does this make it a biomial factor ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What make the binomial a factor?

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

i placed down the first coefficient \(5\) then i multiplied \(-5\) with \(5\) \(=-25\) then \(21+(-25)=-4\) then i multiplied \(-5\) with \(-4\) \(=20\) then \(0+20=20\) then i multiplied \(-5\) with \(20\) \(=-100\) then \(-5-100=-105\)

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

well \((x+\alpha)\) is a binomial factor of \(ax^3+bx^2+cx+d\) if \(ax^3+bx^2+cx+d=(x+\alpha)(mx^2+nx+v)\)

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

but our current polynomial is \(5x^3 + 21x^2 - 5=(x+5)\left(5x^2-4x+20-\dfrac{105}{(x+5)}\right)\) so as it leaves remainder of \(-\dfrac{105}{(x+5)}\) it is \(\huge \text{not a binomial factor}\)

I think I got. Thank you very much. I have a similar problem like this one so I will test out what I've learned ^^.
