Question

If x-9 is a factor of x-5x-36 what is the other factor

Answer 1

Answer:

x + 4 is the other factor

Answer 2

The other factor would be (x + 4). We can find this by using synthetic division. To do this, we must first find the divisor, which would be 9, if we let x - 9 equal to zero and solve for x. Then, for the dividend, we can use the coefficients and constant term values. 
9| 1  -5  -36
         9  36
     1  4  0
Therefore, the other expression (x + 9) would be (x + 4). Hope this helped!
