Make
sure
your
terms
are
in
descending
order
and
make
note
of
any
terms
that
are
missing
(and
include
0s
for
those
terms).
Divide.

If
x
3
is
the
factor
Then
3
is
the
zero.
If
you
have
a
factor,
make
sure
you
change
the
sign
before
using
synthetic
division.
Once
you
know
one
factor
(or
zero),
you
can
factor
the
polynomial
and
potentially
nd
the
other
factors
(or
zeros).

completely
given
that
x

is
a
factor.
One
zero
of
the
given
polynomial
is
-2.
What
are
the
other
zeros?
