Question 301155: I am taking a trig refresher course and need help remembering how to factor a polynomial of a higher degree. I am supposed to find all the zeros of the function. The formula is x%5E3-6x%5E2%2B13x-10 Any help in how to factor would be appreciated. Thanks

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Usually the zeroes are integers, so try the factors of 10.
1, 2 and 5, both + and minus
If you have Excel, you can use that.
Once you find 1 zero, you can divide and get a quadratic.
