Use The Rational Root Theorem to determine the possible rational roots (tricky name!). These can be tested using synthetic substitution/division to depress the function and determine a zero.
Descartes Rules of Signs provides the maximum number of positive or negative roots.
What is the equation? Is it factorable?

You can substitute the smallest degree with another factor let say x6 + x5 + x3 + 5 = 0
Say x^3 = a therefore we have => a^3 + a^2 + a + 5 = 0 (substitution)

Mark in addition rule for higher degree for division and multiplication you plus and minus the "square"

23/22 is 2x2x2/2x2 or 8/4
The obvious answer is 2
The mechanic of this is 2x2x2/2x2, you cross out the 2x2 top and bottom you have only 2/1 left which is 2.
Power of a number can be seen as how many times the number "repeats" itself.

(xn)m = xnm, not xn+m. So, if a = x3, then x6 = (x3)2 = a2, not a3

You are correct in the last portion.
