f(x)=x^3-14x^2+47x-18
x^3-14x^2+47x-18/x-9=x^2-5x+2 Long division.
x^2-5x+2=0
Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:



For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant : .

Discriminant d=17 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .




Quadratic expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 4.56155281280883, 0.43844718719117. Here's your graph:
