f(x)=x^5 +5x^4 +20x^3 +60x^2 +120x+120    f ′(x)=5x^4 +20x^3 +60x^2 +120x+120  f ′′(x)=20x^3 +60x^2 +120x+120  f ′′(x)=0 ⇒ x≈−1.59607  f ′(≈−1.59607)≈32.4474 ⇒ f ′(x)>0 ∀x∈R ⇒  ⇒ f(x) is increasing ∀x∈R ⇒ it has exactly  one real solution    first we try all factors of the constant:  ±{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60, 120}  ⇒ none of these solve the equation  there′s no solution formula for polynomes  of degree 5 or higher ⇒ we must approximate  f(0)=120∧f(x) increasing ⇒ search <0  f(−1)=44  f(−2)=8  f(−3)=−78  f(−2.1)=3.77...  f(−2.2)=−.968...  f(−2.19)=−.465...  f(−2.18)=.0299...  ...  ⇒ x≈−2.18060712404
