Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.

			-	$x^{2}$	+	$8 x$	-	$15$
$x$	+	$1$	-	$x^{3}$	+	$7 x^{2}$	-	$7 x$	-	$15$
			+	$x^{3}$	+	$x^{2}$
					+	$8 x^{2}$	-	$7 x$
					-	$8 x^{2}$	-	$8 x$
							-	$15 x$	-	$15$
							-	$15 x$	-	$15$

Step 10.1.2.5.14

The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in $- 15 x - 15$

			-	$x^{2}$	+	$8 x$	-	$15$
$x$	+	$1$	-	$x^{3}$	+	$7 x^{2}$	-	$7 x$	-	$15$
			+	$x^{3}$	+	$x^{2}$
					+	$8 x^{2}$	-	$7 x$
					-	$8 x^{2}$	-	$8 x$
							-	$15 x$	-	$15$
							+	$15 x$	+	$15$

Step 10.1.2.5.15

After changing the signs, add the last dividend from the multiplied polynomial to find the new dividend.

			-	$x^{2}$	+	$8 x$	-	$15$
$x$	+	$1$	-	$x^{3}$	+	$7 x^{2}$	-	$7 x$	-	$15$
			+	$x^{3}$	+	$x^{2}$
					+	$8 x^{2}$	-	$7 x$
					-	$8 x^{2}$	-	$8 x$
							-	$15 x$	-	$15$
							+	$15 x$	+	$15$
										$0$

Step 10.1.2.5.16

Since the remander is $0$ , the final answer is the quotient.

$- x^{2} + 8 x - 15$

Step 10.1.2.6

Write $- x^{3} + 7 x^{2} - 7 x - 15$ as a set of factors.
