Since, 2/3 is a zero of the given polynomial, (3x - 2) is a factor of it.
Now,
3x³ + 16x² + 15x - 18
= 3x³ - 2x² + 18x² - 12x + 27x - 18
= x² (3x - 2) + 6x (3x - 2) + 9 (3x - 2)
= (3x - 2) (x² + 6x + 9)
= (3x - 2) (x + 3)²
= (3x - 2) (x + 3) (x + 3)
So, all the factors of the given polynomial are (3x - 2), (x + 3) and (x + 3)
Therefore, all its zeroes are 2/3, (- 3) and (- 3).
