Question

Could someone assist me to find the negative and positive zeros for this equation Please!

 

f(x) = 2x^5-3x^2+x-1

Answer 1

Using the Rational Root Theorem and Synthetic Substitution, the function does not have any rational zeros. According to WolframAlpha (http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=2x%5E5-3x%5E2%2Bx-1), the function has four complex roots and one irrational.
