y=0?
(x^2+2x-7)=0?
Either factorize further or use formula for general solution. Not factorable, so use formula for general solution of quadratic equation.
x^3+4x^2-21x=0?
First factor into x(x^2+4x-21)=0 and then either factorize the quadratic factor or use formula for general solution. (Factoring will work here).

To find zeroes of a polynomial
= .
you need to find zeroes of the first factor and the the zeroes of the second factor .
The first factor has the zeroes = and = (use the quadratic formula).
The second factor is = ..
It has the zeroes = , = , and = .
The first of these three zeroes is obvious ( = ).
The two others of these three zeroes you can obtain using the quadratic formula or the Viete's theorem
(see the lesson Solving quadratic equations without quadratic formula in this site).
Answer. The zeroes are , , , and .
