\left(x-5\right)\left(x^{3}-5x-2\right)
By Rational Root Theorem, all rational roots of a polynomial are in the form \frac{p}{q}, where p divides the constant term 10 and q divides the leading coefficient 1. One such root is 5. Factor the polynomial by dividing it by x-5.
\left(x+2\right)\left(x^{2}-2x-1\right)
Consider x^{3}-5x-2. By Rational Root Theorem, all rational roots of a polynomial are in the form \frac{p}{q}, where p divides the constant term -2 and q divides the leading coefficient 1. One such root is -2. Factor the polynomial by dividing it by x+2.
\left(x-5\right)\left(x^{2}-2x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)
Rewrite the complete factored expression. Polynomial x^{2}-2x-1 is not factored since it does not have any rational roots.
