You can put this solution on YOUR website!
F(x) = 14x^3-12x^2-7x+24
\n" ); document.write( "2 changes of sign so either 2 or 0 positive zeros
\n" ); document.write( "F(-x)=-14x^3-12x^2+7x+24
\n" ); document.write( "1 change of sign so 1 possible negative zero
\n" ); document.write( "possibilities are
\n" ); document.write( "factors of 14: 1,2,7,14 (the denominator)
\n" ); document.write( "factors of 24: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24 (the numerator)
\n" ); document.write( "The possible rational roots are 1/1, 1/2, 1/7, 1/14
\n" ); document.write( "2/1, 2/2(1, already noted), 2/7, 2/14 (but that is 1/7 and has been used)
\n" ); document.write( "etc. not counting the rational roots twice.
\n" ); document.write( "There are 32 possibilities, but several appear twice.
\n" ); document.write( "There is 1 negative zero
