anonymous · Answer

hopefully this is the one you were asking me about... first i would look at teh highest power, (5) which is the number of  roots, with this question you have two sign changes, so theres positive negative possibilities and im going to assume there are no imaginary numbers because there are no 'i's' until mrjoselson explains otherwise.
