\n" ); document.write( "By trial and error with from a list of the possible rational roots -- or, much better, by finding the roots with a graphing calculator -- determine that one root is -5. Then reduce the polynomial using synthetic division.
\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    -5  |  6  25  -24   5\r\n" );
document.write( "        |    -30   25  -5\r\n" );
document.write( "        +-----------------\r\n" );
document.write( "           6  -5    1   0

\n" ); document.write( "So

\n" ); document.write( "\"6x%5E3%2B25x%5E2-24x%2B5+=+%28x%2B5%29%286x%5E2-5x%2B1%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "Then the quadratic factors nicely:\n" ); document.write( "\"6x%5E3%2B25x%5E2-24x%2B5+=+%28x%2B5%29%283x-1%29%282x-1%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "And so the roots are -5, 1/3, and 1/2.

\n" ); document.write( "
