Answer:

1 or 3

1, only

Explanation:

To find the positive real roots, all we look at the coefficients and the number of times the sign changes. The coefficients are -4, -3, 2, -4, 1. As we can see, the sign changes 3 times meaning that 1 and 3 are the positive real roots.

To find the negative real roots, substitute -x into x and see how many numbers are negative; -4, 3, 2, 4, 1. As we can see there is 1 negative number meaning there is only 1 negative real root.

Best of Luck!
