Applying Descartes' Sign rule on the equation $f(x)$= $x^7 + 2x^5 + 3x^3 + 4x - 2018=0$

The number of sign changes in $f(x)$ = number of positive real roots = 1

$f(-x)$= $-x^7 - 2x^5 - 3x^3 - 4x - 2018=0$

Number of sign changes in $f(-x)$ = number of negative real roots = 0
Hence number of real roots of the equation = 1

The $x$-axis divides the circle $x^2 + y^2 − 6x − 4y + 5 = 0$ into two parts. The area of the smaller part is $2\pi-1$ $2(\pi-1)$ $2\pi-3$ $2(\pi-2)$

If $\alpha$ is a root of $x^2-x+1$, then $\alpha^{2018} + \alpha^{-2018}$ is $-1$ $0$ $1$ $2$
