Solve the problem.
Use synthetic division to divide f(x) = x3 + 1x2 - 26x + 24 by x + 6. Use the result to find all zeros of f.
**
f(x) = x^3+x^2-26x+24
synthetic division:
-6).....1......1.....-26........24
................-6.......30......-24
..........1....-5.......4...........0
f(x)=(x+6)(x^2-5x+4)
f(x)=(x+6)(x-4)(x-1)
ans:
zeros:-6, 1, and 4
