1. Use the Rational Theorem and synthetic division to find all rational zeros of the function,
f(x)=2x^3-9x^2-6x+5
Factor f(x) into linear factors.

...2...|....2......-5.......-16.....-27......
...3...|....2......-3.......-15.....-40......
...4...|....2......-1.......-10.....-35......
...5...|....2........1........-1.........0.......5 is a root
f(x)=(x-5)(2x^2+x-1)
f(x)=(x-5)(2x-1)(x+1)
Zeros:
x=5
x=1/2
x=-1
