    This document discusses using synthetic division to identify zeros of polynomials. It explains how to use synthetic division to "depress" or reduce polynomials and find their zeros. While synthetic division can identify obvious zeros, it notes that for polynomials with non-integer zeros, additional steps may be needed to fully factor the polynomial algebraically. The document provides an example of getting stuck after using synthetic division and needing a calculator to find the other zero.

    We get stuck here.
    We're supposed to be able to factor further, but because there's no other zeros on the 
    graph that are obvious, and 1 doesn't work again (in case it had a multiplicity of 3), so 
    we have no more tools to try to break this up any further. 
    We can use the zero feature in the calculator to get that other zero, but that's not an 
    algebraic process
