Use synthetic division to check for possible roots, -10,-5,-2,-1,1,2,5,10.

If you need help with synthetic division, say so; but it is easy to learn to do.

Roots found should be -1 and +2. These are the RATIONAL real roots.
Equation is %28x%2B1%29%28x-2%29%28x%5E2-2x%2B5%29=0;
There are two other complex solutions, but if you want just the real number solution,s then x=-1 or x=2.
