Use the Remainder Theorem to find the remainder when $f(x)$ is divided by $x-c .$ Then use the Factor Theorem to determine whether $x-c$ is a factor of $f(x)$ $$ f(x)=3 x^{4}-6 x^{3}-5 x+10 ; x-2 $$

The Real Zeros of a Polynomial Function
a. List all possible rational zeros. b. Use synthetic division to test the possible rational zeros and find an actual zero. c. Use the quotient from part ( $b$ ) to find the remaining zeros of the polynomial function. $$f(x)=x^{3}-2 x^{2}-11 x+12$$
