Can anyone help me with this and tell me how to do it?
Use synthetic division to determine which is a factor of x³-3x²-10x+24
a. x-2
b. x-3
c. x+4
d. x+8
 
After reading up a bit on Synthetic Division, you use the remainder theorem to find the zeros. Those lead to factors.

To test the factor (x-2), use synthetic division with '2' and see if you end up with zero.

To test the factor (x+4), use synthetic division with '-4' and see if you end up with zero.
