(( x^(3)-20x+16) )/((x-4))

Use the rational root theorem:

a_(o)=16,
a_(n)=1

The dividers of
a_(o): 1,2,4,8,16
The dividers of
a_(n): 1

Therefore, check the following rational numbers: +-
(1,2,4,8,16)/(1)


(4)/(1) is a root of the expression, so factor out x-4

Compute
( x^(3)-20x+16 )/(x-4) to get the rest of the equation.


((x-4)( x^(2) +4x-4))/(x-4)

Cancel the common factor:

x^(2)+4x-4 is the final answer
