5x³ + 8x² - 7x - 6

1)

x + 2 is a factor because when using synthetic division, the remainder is zero.

-2 | 5 8 -7 -6

| ↓ -10 4 6

5 -2 -3 0 ← remainder is zero

2)

x + 2 is not a factor because when using synthetic division, the remainder is not zero.

-1 | 5 8 -7 -6

| ↓ -5 -3 10

5 3 -10 4 ← remainder is not zero
