Problem

For the given polynomial: • Use Cauchy's Bound to find an interval containing all of the real zeros. • Use the Rational Zeros Theorem to make a list of possible rational zeros. • Use Descartes' Rule of Signs to list the possible number of positive and negative real zeros, counting multiplicities. f(x)=36x4−12x3−11x2+2x+1f(x) = 36x^4 - 12x^3 - 11x^2 + 2x + 1
