Use Descartes Rule of signs to determine the number of positive and negative

The video tutorial explains Descartes' Rule of Signs, which helps determine the possible number of positive and negative real zeros of a polynomial. The instructor demonstrates how to analyze sign variations in coefficients to find positive zeros and uses an example to show the process for negative zeros. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the rule's application.
