A:
Answer:The answer to your question is: Yes, x - 5 is a factor of the polynomial.Step-by-step explanation:To answer this question you need to divide the polynomial by the factor and if there is nothing left, they are factor. x³ -4x² -7x +10 x -5 x² + x -2 x-5 x³ -4x² -7x +10 -x³ + 5x² x² - 7x -x² + 5x -2x + 10 +2x -10 0 0 These zeros tell us that the linear expression is a factor of the polynomial
