Answer:
So f(x) has no real greater than 8. Step - by - step explanation is shown in the attachment.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let f ( x) be a polynomial with real coefficients and with a positive lending coefficient.
If f(x) is divided by x-c and
a) if c>0 and all number in the bottom row of the synthetic division are non negative , then f(x) has no zero greater than c.
b ) if c<0 and the number in the bottom row of the synthetic division alternate in sign then f (x) has no zero less than c
As shown in the figure
Since the number in the bottom row of the synthetic division alternate in sign
So f(x) has no real greater than 8
