(B) To check if $(x+1)$ is a factor of $p(x) = x^{3} - 2x^{2} - 5x + 6$,we use the Factor Theorem.According to the Factor Theorem,$(x+1)$ is a factor if $p(-1) = 0$.Substitute $x = -1$ into the polynomial:$p(-1) = (-1)^{3} - 2(-1)^{2} - 5(-1) + 6$$p(-1) = -1 - 2(1) + 5 + 6$$p(-1) = -1 - 2 + 5 + 6$$p(-1) = 8$Since $p(-1) 
eq 0$,$(x+1)$ is not a factor of the given polynomial.

Determine whether $(x+1)$ is a factor of the polynomial $p(x) = x^{3} - 2x^{2} - 5x + 6$.
