Use the factor theorem to decide whether or not the second polynomial is a factor of the first.
-$$- 8 x ^ { 3 } + 22 x ^ { 2 } - 5 x + 3 ; x + 3$$
A) Yes
B) No

The factor theorem states that if $ x + c $ is a factor of a polynomial, then substituting $ -c $ into the polynomial should yield zero. Substituting $ x = -3 $ into $-8x^3 + 22x^2 - 5x + 3$ does not result in zero, so $ x + 3 $ is not a factor.
