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)=x3−2x2−5x+6f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 - 5x + 6
