The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we need to analyze the polynomial formed by the rearrangement of the coefficients and determine the nature of its roots. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Coefficients**: The coefficients \( (a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4, a_5) \) are a rearrangement of the numbers \( (3, -5, 7, 4, -9) \). 2. **Form the Polynomial**: The polynomial can be expressed as: \[ f(x) = a_1 x^4 + a_2 x^3 + a_3 x^2 + a_4 x + a_5 = 0 \] 3. **Evaluate at \( x = 1 \)**: We substitute \( x = 1 \) into the polynomial: \[ f(1) = a_1(1^4) + a_2(1^3) + a_3(1^2) + a_4(1) + a_5 = a_1 + a_2 + a_3 + a_4 + a_5 \] 4. **Calculate the Sum of Coefficients**: Now, we calculate the sum of the coefficients: \[ 3 + (-5) + 7 + 4 + (-9) = 3 - 5 + 7 + 4 - 9 = 0 \] Thus, \( f(1) = 0 \). 5. **Conclusion About Roots**: Since \( f(1) = 0 \), we conclude that \( x = 1 \) is a root of the polynomial. 6. **Degree of the Polynomial**: The polynomial \( f(x) \) is a quartic polynomial (degree 4). By the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, a polynomial of degree \( n \) has exactly \( n \) roots (counting multiplicities). 7. **Determine the Nature of Roots**: Since \( f(x) \) is a quartic polynomial and we have found one real root (at \( x = 1 \)), it must have at least one more real root (as quartic polynomials can have either 2 or 4 real roots). 8. **Final Statement**: Therefore, we conclude that the polynomial has at least two real roots. ### Final Answer: The polynomial \( a_1 x^4 + a_2 x^3 + a_3 x^2 + a_4 x + a_5 = 0 \) has at least two real roots.
