Use synthetic division to determine whether the number k is an upper or lower bound (as specified for the real zeros of the func

Solution:

The given Polynomial is :

f(x) = 5x^4 + 4x^3 - 2x^2 + 2x + 4=5( x^4 + \frac{4}{5}x^3 - \frac{2}{5}x^2 + \frac{2}{5}x + \frac{4}{5})

By Rational Root theorem the  of Zeroes of the Polynopmial are:

\pm\frac{1}{5},\pm\frac{2}{5},\pm\frac{4}{5},\pm1,\pm2,\pm4

But , f(\pm\frac{1}{5},\pm\frac{2}{5},\pm\frac{4}{5},\pm1,\pm2,\pm4)\neq 0

So, no root of this polynomial is real.

Therefore, All the four roots of Polynomial are imaginary.

So, we can't say whether the number k=2, is an upper or lower bound of the polynomial f(x) = 5x^4 + 4x^3 - 2x^2 + 2x + 4=5( x^4 + \frac{4}{5}x^3 - \frac{2}{5}x^2 + \frac{2}{5}x + \frac{4}{5}).
