Name the remainder for the quotient and describe or show how you found the remainder. (x^3 - x^2 - 17x -15) ÷ (x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression x^3 - x^2 - 17x -15) ÷ (x-5) shows that x+5 is one of the factor if the polynomial function. According to factor theorem, we will equate the factor to zero and find x;

x+5 = 0

x = -5

Next is to generate the remainder.

Substitute x = -5 into the polynomial function

P(x) = x^3 - x^2 - 17x -15

P(-5) = (-5)^3 - (-5)^2 - 17(-5) -15

P(-5) = -125-25+85-15

P(-5) = -150+70

P(-5) = -80

Hence the remainder is -80
