One zero of the polynomial $3 x^{3}+16 x^{2}+15 x-18$ is $\frac{2}{3}$. Find the other zeros of the polynomial.
Let $f(x)=3 x^{3}+16 x^{2}+15 x-18$
It is given that one of its zeroes is $\frac{2}{3}$.
Therefore, one factor of $f(x)$ is $\left(x-\frac{2}{3}\right)$
We get another factor of $f(x)$ by dividing it with $\left(x-\frac{2}{3}\right)$.
On division, we get the quotient $3 x^{2}+18 x+27$
$\Rightarrow f(x)=\left(x-\frac{2}{3}\right)\left(3 x^{2}+18 x+27\right)$
$=\left(x-\frac{2}{3}\right)\left(3 x^{2}+9 x+9 x+27\right)$
$=\left(x-\frac{2}{3}\right)(3 x(x+3)+9(x+3))$
$=\left(x-\frac{2}{3}\right)(3 x+9)(x+3)$
$=3\left(x-\frac{2}{3}\right)(x+3)(x+3)$
$=3\left(x-\frac{2}{3}\right)(x+3)^{2}$
To find the zeroes, we put $f(x)=0$
$\Rightarrow 3\left(x-\frac{2}{3}\right)(x+3)^{2}=0$
$\Rightarrow\left(x-\frac{2}{3}\right)=0$ or $(x+3)^{2}=0$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{2}{3},-3$
Hence, other zero of the polynomial f(x) is –3.
