Solution

Given equation is $x^{5} - 6 x^{4} + 7 x^{3} + 8 x^{2} + 9 x + 10 = 0$
$Let f (x) = x^{5} - 6 x^{4} + 7 x^{3} + 8 x^{2} + 9 x + 10$
Since the terms of $f (x)$ are already in descending order.
Here number of sign changes in $f (x)$ is 2.
Hence by Descarte's rule of signs, maximum number of positive real roots of $f (x)$ is 2.
