\n" );
document.write( "given that -1 is a zero of f(x)
\n" );
document.write( "That tells You 
\n" );
document.write( "( x -(-1)) is a factor  of 15x^3+14x^2-3x-2=0
\n" );
document.write( "Use traditional division to find 
\n" );
document.write( " = 15x^2 - x - 2
\n" );
document.write( "15x^2 - x - 2 = (5x-2)(3x+1)
\n" );
document.write( "(5x-2)=0
\n" );
document.write( "(3x+1)=0
\n" );
document.write( "Roots are:  -1, -1/3, 2/5 \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
