1 EXAMPLE 4 Use Descartes’ rule of signs Determine the possible numbers of positive real zeros, negative real zeros, and imaginary zeros for f (x) = x 6 – 2x 5 + 3x 4 – 10x 3 – 6x 2 – 8x – 8. The coefficients in f (x) have 3 sign changes, so f has 3 or 1 positive real zero(s). f ( – x) = ( – x) 6 – 2( – x) 5 + 3( – x) 4 – 10( – x) 3 – 6( – x) 2 – 8( – x) – 8 = x 6 + 2x 5 + 3x 4 + 10x 3 – 6x 2 + 8x – 8 SOLUTION

2 EXAMPLE 4 Use Descartes’ rule of signs The coefficients in f (–x) have 3 sign changes, so f has 3 or 1 negative real zero(s). The possible numbers of zeros for f are summarized in the table below.

3 GUIDED PRACTICE for Example 4 Determine the possible numbers of positive real zeros, negative real zeros, and imaginary zeros for the function. 9. f (x) = x 3 + 2x – 11 positive : 1, negative : 0, imaginary : 2 10. g(x) = 2x 4 – 8x 3 + 6x 2 – 3x + 1 positive : 4, 2, or 0, negative : 0, imaginary : 4, 2, or 0 ANSWER
