[Community Question] Algebra-Precalculus: Find the remainder of the division of $x^n+5$ with $x^3+10x^2+25x$

One of our user asked:

Find the remainder of the division of $x^n+5$ with $x^3+10x^2+25x$ over $\mathbb{Q}$

What I tried to do is to write $x^n+5=p(x)(x^3+10x^2+25x)+Ax^2+Bx+C$, where $p(x)$ is a polynomial of degree $n-3$. If I set $x=0$ I obtain that $C=0$.

Now $x^3+10x^2+25x=x(x+5)^2$ and by setting $x=-5$, I get that

$5A-B=(-1)^n5^{n-1}$

But I need one more equation to be able to find the coefficients of the remainder, and I can't get one. What should I do?

[Community Question] Calculus: Manifold with boundary - finding the boundary

One of our user asked: I have the manifold with boundary $M:= \lbrace (x_1,x_2,x_3) \in \mathbb R^3 : x_1\geq 0, x_1^2+x_2^2+x_3^2=1\rbrace \cup\lbrace (x_1,x_2,x_3) \in \mathbb R^3 : x_1= 0, x_1^2+x_2^2+x_3^2\leq1\rbrace$ and I need to find the boundary of this manifold. I think it is $\lbrace (x_1,x_2,x_3) \in \mathbb R^n : x_1= 0, x_2^2+x_3^2=1\rbrace$ , the other option is that the boundary is the empty set? I think the first is right? Am I wrong?

[Community Question] Linear-algebra: Are linear transformations between infinite dimensional vector spaces always differentiable?

One of our user asked: In class we saw that every linear transformation is differentiable (since there's always a linear approximation for them) and we also saw that a differentiable function must be continuous, so it must be true that all linear operators are continuous, however, I just read that between infinite dimensional vector spaces this is not necessarily true. I would like to know where's the flaw in my reasoning (I suspect that linear transformations between infinite dimensional vector spaces are not always differentiable).
