Determine the Possible Number of Real Roots -0.000125

To find the possible number of positive roots, look at the signs on the coefficients and count the number of times the signs on the coefficients change from positive to negative or negative to positive.

Since there are ${\displaystyle 0}$ sign changes from the highest order term to the lowest, there are at most ${\displaystyle 0}$ positive roots (Descartes\' Rule of Signs).

To find the possible number of negative roots, replace with ${\displaystyle -}$ and repeat the sign comparison.

Since there are ${\displaystyle 0}$ sign changes from the highest order term to the lowest, there are at most ${\displaystyle 0}$ negative roots (Descartes\' Rule of Signs).
