What is the correct answer?

Option (4)

Explanation:

Given polynomial is,

P(x) = 1x³ - 7x² + 2x + 40

If (x - 5) is a factor of the given polynomial,

Synthetic division by x = 5,

5 |  1    -7     2     40

    ↓    5   -10   -40

     1    -2    -8      0

Therefore, factored form of the polynomial will be,

P(x) = (x - 5)(x²- 2x - 8)

Now we further factorize the expression (x² - 2x - 8),

(x² - 2x - 8) = x²- 4x + 2x - 8

                  = x(x - 4) + 2(x - 4)

                  = (x + 2)(x - 4)

Now fully factored form of the polynomial will be,

P(x) = (x - 5)(x + 2)(x - 4)

Therefore, remaining factors of the polynomial other than (x - 5) are (x - 4)(x + 2)

Option (4) will be the correct option.

see the picture for the vector

the magnitude of the vector by pythagorean theorem

r = √( (-10)^2 + (3)^2 ) = √109

magnitude = √109 units

the direction angle between vector and x-axis is

tan^(-1)(3/10) = 16.699

so the direction is approximately 16.7 degrees north of west
