x³ - 7x² + 19x - 13 The only possible zeros are the factors of 13, which are ±1 and ±13. So we use synthetic division to try the easiest one first, 1: 1 | 1 -7 19 -13 | 1 -6 13 ------------- 1 -6 13 0 We're in luck because that left a 0 remainder. So we have factored the polynomial as (x - 1)(x² - 6x + 13) It has zeros found by setting each of those factors = 0 The first one gives 1 as a zero. The other two zeros are found by the quadratic formula. They are 3±2i Edwin
