Let f(1)>0
then f(2)<0
if f(2)<0 then f(3) >0
if f(3)>0 then f(4) <0

So between 1 and 2 the graph will cut x axis once
similarily between 2 and 3 once
and between 3 and 4 once
so 3 real rools we will get
But if there was any complex root it will exits in pais
So fourth root will also be real
So, All 4 real roots
