document.write( "Since (x-1) is a factor of  p(x) = ,  you have \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "p(1) = 0,   or    = 0,   which gives you an equation\r\n" );

document.write( "(k-3)*(k+1) = 0.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The roots are k= 3  and/or  k= -1.\r\n" );
