What are all the zeros of f(x)=x^3-x^2-7 x+3
use the rational roots theorem with synthetic division:
...0...|.....1......-1.....-7.......3
...1...|.....1.......0.....-7......-4(real root between 0 and 1)(change in sign of last number)
...2...|.....1.......1.....-5......-7
...3...|.....1.......2.....-1.......0 (3 is a root)
f(x)=(x-3)(x^2+2x-1)
zeros are 3 plus two irrational roots
