The image contains four polynomial functions, each with one given zero, and you are asked to factor them completely using synthetic division. Let's tackle them one by one.

### Problem 5: \( f(x) = x^3 - 8x^2 + 19x - 12 \); Zero: 3
We use synthetic division with the root \( x = 3 \).

### Problem 6: \( f(x) = x^4 + 2x^3 - 13x^2 + 10x \); Zero: -5
Again, we'll apply synthetic division with \( x = -5 \).

### Problem 7: \( f(x) = x^3 + 6x^2 + 11x + 6 \); Zero: -2
Use synthetic division with \( x = -2 \).

### Problem 8: \( f(x) = x^4 - 2x^3 - 5x^2 + 6x \); Zero: -2
We perform synthetic division with \( x = -2 \) for this one as well.

I'll solve the first one to demonstrate the process:

#### Problem 5 Solution: 
Given: \( f(x) = x^3 - 8x^2 + 19x - 12 \) and zero \( x = 3 \).

The synthetic division setup:
\[
\begin{array}{r|rrrr}
3 & 1 & -8 & 19 & -12 \\
  &   & 3  & -15 & 12 \\
\hline
  & 1 & -5  & 4  & 0 \\
\end{array}
\]
So, \( f(x) = (x - 3)(x^2 - 5x + 4) \).

Now, we factor \( x^2 - 5x + 4 \):
\[
x^2 - 5x + 4 = (x - 1)(x - 4)
\]

Thus, \( f(x) = (x - 3)(x - 1)(x - 4) \).
