Rational Roots Theorem with synthetic division
...0...|....1......-1......-5......1......8.......4
...1...|....1.......0......-5.....-4......4.......8
...2...|....1.......1......-3.....-5......-2......0 (2 is a root or zero)
========================
...0...|....1.......1......-3.....-5......-2
...2...|....1.......3.......3......1........0 (2 is a root of mult.2)
========================
...2...|....1.......3.......3......1
..-1...|....1......2........1.....0 (-1 is a root or zero)
===========================



zeros are:-1(mult.3), 2(mult.2)
