Factoring Polynomials Procedure

function allows one to find the roots directly. Alternatively, one can key a polynomial into a Y-variable (say Y1), set another Y-variable (say Y2) equal to zero, and then use the . intersection. option from the . Calc. menu to find the points of intersection for the polynomial (Y1) and the x-axis (Y2)— which will also be the roots of the polynomial. ................
