Use the factor theorem to determine whether the first polynomial is a factor of the second polynomial. x - 5; 3x2 + 5x + 50 a) yes b) no

Notice, the factor or divisor is x-5, so we could just do a quick synthetic division on it for x - 5 = 0, x = 5, so, let's divide it by 5.



now, notice the remainder, is NOT 0.
