Recall that we identified x, x − 1, and x + 2 as three factors of p(x) = x4 − 4x3 − 7x2 + 10x by using the remainder theorem to inspect a set of expressions. We were unable to identify the fourth factor. Now that you’re familiar with synthetic division, write the process you would use to find the fourth factor of p(x).
