How do I find the roots of this function?
m(x)=x^3+5x^2-24x
m(x)=x^3+5x^2-24x
Take a factor of x out of the entire expression first.

Pedant note: functions don't have roots - functions have "zeros" and equations have "roots"
m(x) has an obvious common factor in each of its terms - can you see what it is? This will help you answer your question.
