Find the smallest value for the polynomial

[QUOTE="Mark44, post: 5982039, member: 147785"] I think that this problem requires you to elliminate the potential answers that could not be answers. For example, both real zeroes are positive, so their product would also be positive. Any nonreal zeroes have to occur in conjugate pairs. For this problem I believe that the nonreal zeroes would be purely imaginary; if so, their product would also be positive. Can you eliminate any more possibilities in continuing with this kind of analysis? Also, even though this was posted in the Precalc section, I suspect that more information can be obtained by looking at the first and second derivatives, noticing where both the first and second derivatives are negative, positive, or zero. What's the context for this problem? Is it in a textbook of some kind? Was the problem given in a math class? If so, was it a calculus class? [/QUOTE]
