Use the factor theorem to decide whether or not the second polynomial is a factor of the first.
-$- 7 x ^ { 3 } + 32 x ^ { 2 } - 14 x + 5 ; x + 5$
A) Yes
B) No

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The factor theorem states that $x + 5$ is a factor of the polynomial if substituting $-5$ into the polynomial results in zero. Substituting $-5$ into $-7x^3 + 32x^2 - 14x + 5$ does not yield zero, so $x + 5$ is not a factor.
