Question 45475: Hello, I need help with roots and zeros. I don't understand how to find the number of positive real zeros, negative real zeros, or imaginary zeros for a function. I know that you need to count the number of changes in sign for the coefficients but I don't understand how to interpret that.
Ex.
g(x)=x^4+x^3+2x^2-3x-1
Thank you.
