find all the zeros of the function
f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 - 5x + 6
---------
The coefficients add up to zero so x = 1 is a zero.
============
1)....1....-2....-5....6
.......1.....-1....-6..|..0
Quotient: x^2 -x -6
Remainder: 0
==========================
Find the zeroes of x^2-x-6
---
(x-3)(x+2) = 0
x = 3 or x = -2
-------------------------
Solutions: x = 1,x = 3, x = -2
====================================
