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+4x2−11x+6f(x) = x^3 + 4x^2 - 11x + 6
