... by a linear factor—and only a linear factor. Typically, you would use synthetic division to factor a polynomial in order to find its zeroes. • Suppose you need to find the zeroes of the polynomial . This is easiest when you can write the polynomial as the product of linear factors: (x - a)(x - b), w ...
