    F (x) = x^3-57x+56

    Regroup to factor it: f (x) = x^3-x-56x-56 = (x^3-x) - (56x+56)

    f (x) = x (x^2-1) - 56 (x+1)

    f (x) = x (x+1) (x-1) - 56 (x+1)

    f (x) = (x-1) [x (x+1) - 56] = (x-1) (x^2+x-56) = (x-1) (x+8) (x-7)

    the zeros are the values of x when f (x) = o

    (x-1) (x+8) (x-7) = 0

    x=1, - 8, 7
