(a) Number of positive real roots Number of sign changes in
coefficient off(x).
(b) Number of negative real roots Number of sign changes in
coefficients of f(-x).
Note:
I f all the coefficients are positive then the equation has no positive
real root.
I f the coefficients of even powers of x are all of one sign, and the
coefficients of the odd powers are all of opposite sign, then the
polynomial equationf{r) =0 has no negative real root.
I f the equation contains only even powers of x and the coefficients
are all of the same sign, the equation has no real root.
I f the equation contains only odd powers of x, and the coefficients
are all of the same sign, the equation has no real root except x =0.
