You would use Rational Roots Theorem, or skip to a graphing tool; but you find p%28x%29=%28x%2B1%29%28x%2B1%2F3%29%28x-1%2F3%29.

whats
p(X)=9x^3+9x^2-x-1 in factored form
p%28X%29+=+9x%5E3+%2B+9x%5E2+-+x+-+1

p%28x%29+=+9x%5E2%28x+%2B+1%29+-+1%28x+%2B+1%29

p%28x%29+=+%289x%5E2+-+1%29%28x+%2B+1%29
