The sum of all the real roots of equation `x^4-3x^3-2x^2-3x+1=0` is

Answer» `x^4-3x^3-2x^2-3x+1 = 0`
`(x^2-4x+1)(x^2+x+1) = 0`
Now, roots of equation,`x^2-4x+1 = 0`,
`x = (4+-sqrt(16-4))/2 = 2+-sqrt3`
These are real roots.
Now, roots of equation,`x^2+x+1 = 0`,
`x = (-1+-sqrt(1-4))/2 = -(1+-sqrt(-3))/2`
These are imaginary roots.
`:.` Sum of real roots ` = (2+sqrt3)+(2-sqrt3) = 4`
