[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] Linear-algebra: non-negative matrix satisfying two conditions

One of our user asked: A real matrix $B$ is called non-negative if every entry is non-negative. We will denote this by $B\ge 0$ . I want to find a non-negative matrix $B$ satisfying the following two conditions: (1) $(I-B)^{-1}$ exists but not non-negative. Here $I$ is the identity matrix. (2) There is a non-zero and non-negative vector $\vec{d}$ such that $(I-B)^{-1}\vec{d}\ge 0$ . I tried all the $2\times 2$ matrices, but it did not work. I conjecture that such a $B$ does not exist, but don't know how to prove it.

[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).
