The zeros are the values of $\"+x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "for which $\"+h%28x%29+=+0+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x%5E2+%2B+26+%2B+120+=+0+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "By looking at this I see
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+x+%2B+6+%29%2A%28+x+%2B+20+%29+=+0+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "For this to be true, either
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+-6+\"$ or
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+-+20+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "These are the poles of the equation
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Here is a plot of the equation:
