Factor completely x³ - 7x² + 2x + 40 given x = -2 is a root.

  (x +2)(x -4)(x -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

When you divide the cubic by (x +2), the factor that has -2 as a root, you get a quadratic with roots 4 and 5. Thus the factors are ...

  (x +2)(x -4)(x -5)

___

In the attachment, we have done the division using a graphing calculator. You can also do it by polynomial long division or by synthetic division. The resulting quadratic is ...

  x^2 -9x +20 = (x -4)(x -5) . . . . . factor the quadratic

i think is g(1)=-1.

hope that i can

ok then what happened.
