Question 1204271: Use a graphing calculator to approximate the partition numbers of​ f(x). Then solve the inequalities​ A) f(x) > 0 and B) f(x) < 0
f(x) = x^4 - 4x^2 - 3x + 5
what are the partition number(s) of f(x)?

Can you please explain to me this homework question step-by-step? Thank you

Obviously, they want you find the roots of the polynomial, using your graphing calculator.

I analyzed this polynomial and found out that it has no rational roots;
so, the school Algebra does not help to find the roots.

Use your graphing calculator and complete the job on your own, as prescribed by the assignment.
