[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: calculating 2 constants in a function

One of our user asked: $$M=\{f\in C[0,2\pi],\int_{0}^{2\pi}f(x)sinxdx=\pi,\int_{0}^{2\pi}f(x)sin2xdx=2\pi\} $$ $a,b\in \mathbb R, g\in M, g(x)=asinx+bsin2x,x\in [0,2\pi]$ I've read on the answers that $a=1,b=2$ and I don't know how to calculate them. Can somebody explain me,please? By the way, the problem is to determine $ \int_{0}^{2\pi}(g(x))^2 dx$ so you have to first get the constants $a$ and $b$ .

Calculus: A difficulty in understanding a step in a solution.

Here is the solution: But I could not understand how the last term in the fourth line came from the line before it, could anyone explain this for me please?
