Find the value of c so that (x-5) is a factor of the polynomial p(x)

I think the question is

Find the value of c so that (x-5) is a factor of the polynomial

p(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 + cx + 10

The other factor is going to be some quadratic.  We can say a few things about its coefficients but let's start by saying in general it's

q(x)= ax^2 + bx + k

p(x) = (x-5)q(x)

x^3 + 2x^2 + cx + 10 = (x-5)(ax^2 + bx+k) = ax^3 + (b-5a)x^2 + (k-5b)x - 5k

Equating respective coefficients,

a=1

b-5a = 2

k - 5b = c

-5k = 10

so we get

b = 2 + 5 = 7

k = 10/-5 = -2

c = k - 5b = 2 - 5(7)= -37

Answer: -37

Check:

(x^2 + 7x - 2)(x - 5) = x^3 + 2 x^2 - 37 x + 10\quad\checkmark

How would I find the slope intercept form of x+y+3=0?
denis-greek [22]
Slope-intercept form follows the formula: y=mx+ b

To find the slope intercept form of those, you need to isolate y
For example, x + y + 3 = 0. Subtract 3 and x to get y=-x-3 and that is your slope intercept form! Simple as that :)
