Take the polynomial p(x)=x^4+x^3+2x^2+4x-8, use the factor theorem to write p(x) as two linear factors and an irreducible quadratic. An irreducible quadratic is a quadratic that can not be factorised.

We must use the factor theorem since that is what the question asks. So we take p(x) and think about the factors of 8 we then evaluate it at x=1 to start, then move onto x=-1,2,-2 and so on. We see that it h...
