How do you solve the equation X^3+4X^2-21X=0 and find the number and types of roots in it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there seems to be only one root and that is \[\pm0\]

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

the number of roots is equal to the degree of the leading term. These roots may be real or complex. the equation can be solved by 1st factoring

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

factor out x, so it's \[x(x^2 + 4x - 21) \] then factor the quadratic equation hope it makes sense
