Step-by-step explanation:

Very simple way to find out if a polynomial is a factor of other is to simply put the value of the variable in the desired polynomial.

Let x+5 be the factor

Therefore x+5=0

X=-5

Now putting the value of x in the polynomial.

x+2x-14x+9=0

-11x+9=0

(-11*-5) +9=0

55+9=0

This is not possible.

Thus our assumption is wrong.

x+5 is not a factor of x+2x-14x+9.
