Dear student
 
f (0) = negative
f(1) = positive
f(2) = positive 
similarily f(3), f(4).... are positive
hence one root between 0 and 1.
 
now
f(-1) = – ve
f(-2) = negative
f(-3) = positive
f(-4), f(-5),..... are positive
hence one root lies between -2 and -3.
 
 
jphence only two real roots and other two roots are imaginary
