find the zeros of the polynomial f(x) = 2x^3 + 9x^2 - 32x + 21.
--------
The coefficents add up to zro so x=1 is a zero of f(x)
--------
1)....2....9....-32....21
........2....11....-21...|..0
======================
Remainder is zero
Quotient is 2x^2+11x-21
Factor to get: (2x-3)(x+7)
x=3/2 or x=-7
===================
