The number of solution(s) of the equation  x^3  + x^2  + 4x + 2sinx = 0 in [0, 2π], is/are

$$\mathrm{The}\:\mathrm{number}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{solution}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{equation} \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{3}} \:+\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \:+\:\mathrm{4}{x}\:+\:\mathrm{2sin}{x}\:=\:\mathrm{0}\:\mathrm{in}\:\left[\mathrm{0},\:\mathrm{2}\pi\right],\:\mathrm{is}/\mathrm{are} \\ $$

One .  x=0 is obviously a solution, and  beyond that...(but first let)  f(x)=x^3 +x^2 +4x+2sin x  f ′(x)=3x^2 +2x+4+2cos x    =3(x+(1/3))^2 −(1/3)+2+2(1+cos x)     =3(x+(1/3))^2 −(1/3)+2+4cos^2 ((x/2))     =3(x+(1/3))^2 +(5/3)+4cos^2 ((x/2)) >0  so no more solutions.
