How do I solve this problem?
\n" ); document.write( "x^3+3x^2-4x-12=0
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "I graphed the cubic and found a root at x = -2
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Use synthetic division to find the other zeroes:
\n" ); document.write( "-2)....1....3....-4....-12
\n" ); document.write( ".......1....1....-6...|..0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Quotient: x^2 + x -6
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Solve x^2 + x -6 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Factor:(x+3)(x-2) = 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Zeroes: x = -2, x = 2, x = -3
