Remainder Theorem

The Attempt at a Solution


I set the inequality equal to zero
-3x4+5x3+3x2+5x+4≥0

Checking all the Possible rational roots for a possible factors... none worked... therefore roots not nice numbers. I was hoping to get this factored down and do an interval test and go about it from there but that won't work. Is there a different way to approach this question?
 
on Phys.org
Looks like it should be 2x^2 not 3x^2
 
If you look at -3x^4+2x^2+4>-5x^3-5x

It seems it is only one single interval ?
