Answer: 4

Explanation:

descartes rule of signs to test maximum positive and negative:

3x4 - 7x + 3

two sign changes, so maximum of 2 positive real zeroes

3x4 + 7x + 3

no sign changes, so maximum of 0 negative real zeroes

this means that we can have 2 or 0 real zeroes.

if we have 0 real zeroes, we will have 4 imaginary.

therefore the most possible number of complex roots is 4
