how to prove that x^6+x^4+x^2+x+3=0 has no positive real root???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when x>0, the function is always >0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if x > 0, each term will individually be greater than 0, since they all have positive signs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says "has no positive real roots"..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but in case to prove that the function is never having a positive root atleast we have to prove that the function is positive for all x belonging to real num...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if each individual term is positive then their sum is positive.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, just need to prove the positive part, the question does not ask for the negative part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh yaa yaa ...thnxxx i just didnt realised that part!!!!
