Find the Maximum Number of Real Roots f(x)=x^5-x^4+3

$f (x) = x^{5} - x^{4} + 3$

Step 1

Identify the exponents on the variables in each term, and add them together to find the degree of each term.

$x^{5} \to 5$

$- x^{4} \to 4$

$3 \to 0$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$5$

Step 3

The maximum number of possible roots is the degree of $x^{5} - x^{4} + 3$ .

$5$
