Part 1 [3 points]: What are the possible number of positive, negative, and complex zeros of f(x) = –2x3 – 5x2 + 6x + 4 ? Part 2 [4 points]: Use complete sentences to explain the method used to solve this equation.

I think theres one positive zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x) = 2x^3 - 5x^2 + 6x - 4 There are 3 or 1 possible positive zeros. f(-x) = -2x^3 - 5x^2 - 6x - 4 There are no possible negative zeros. There are possibly 2 complex zeros. There are 3 changes of sign in f(x). There are no changes of sign in f(-x). There are exactly 3 zeros of f(x); if 1 is real, then 2 are complex. If 3 are real, then there are no complex zeros.
