Concept explainers
To find:how many positive and how many negative real zeros the polynomial have using Descartes’s rule of sign and determine the possible total number of real zeros.

Answer to Problem 70E
The polynomial has either six or four positive and0 negative zeros and total number ofeither six or fourreal zeros .
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The polynomial is
Concept used: Descartes’s rule of signs:
Let P be a polynomial with real coef?cients.
1. The number of positive real zeros of
2. The number of negative real zeros of
Calculation:
The polynomial has six variation in sign, so it has either sixor fourpositive zeros, now
So,
Thus,
