Descartes’s Rule of Signs
Upper and Lower Bounds
Descartes’s Rule of Signs
• Let f(x) be a polynomial with real coefficients and
ao ≠ 0.
f ( x )  a n x  a n 1 x
n
n 1
 ...  a 2 x  a1 x  a 0

• The number of positive real zeros of f is either
equal to the number of variations in sign of f(x) or
less than that number by an even integer.
• The number of negative real zeros of f is either
equal to the number of variations in the sign of f(-x)
of less than that number by an even integer.
Apply Descarte’s Rule of Signs
• Consider f(x) = x2 + 8x + 15
• Since there are no variations in sign of f(x)
there are no positive roots.
• Since f(-x) = (-x)2 + 8(-x) + 15
= x2 – 8x + 15
has two variations, f(x) may have two or zero
negative roots.
x = {-3. -5}
Variation in Sign
• A variation in sign means that when the
polynomial is written in standard form that one
term has a different sign than the next.
• T(x) = x5 + 9x4 + 19x3 – 21x2 – 92x – 60
• For Variations of T(x) just look at the signs
T(x) has one variation in signs
• For Variations of T(-x) you must change the sign
of terms with odd numbered exponents
• T(-x) = -x5 + 9x4 – 19x3 – 21x2 + 92x – 60
T(-x) has four variation in signs
Find the Zeros of T(x)
• T(x) = x5 + 9x4 + 19x3 – 21x2 – 92x – 60
• 60  + 1, + 2 , + 3, + 4, + 5 , + 6 , + 10 ,
+ 12 , + 15 , + 20, + 30, + 60
• Since there is only one sign variation for
T(x) there is at most, one positive root

Now that we have found the positive root we
know that any other real roots must be negative.
