The equation can be factored as:

( 2 x + 3 ) ( 1 + x 2 + x 4 + x 6 + . . . + x 2000 ) = 0 (2x+3)(1+x^2+x^4+x^6+...+x^{2000})=0

0nly one factor gives a real root.

2x^2001+3x^2000+.............................. + 2x+3=0 x^2000(2x+3)+x^1998(2x+3)+........................+ 1(2x+3)=0 (x^2000+x^1998+............................+x^2+1)(2x+3)=0 ONE ROOT : x=-3/2 x^2000+x^1998+.......................+ x^2=-1 Sum of positive integers is always greater than or equal to zero. therefore only one real root.

x 2 x^{2} is not necessarily an integer, it is a real number. It is not necessarily positive, it is nonnegative. A positive number cannot be 0.

Grouping the even and odd exponents:

2 i = 0 1000 x 2 i + 1 + 3 i = 0 1000 x 2 i = 0 2\sum\limits_{i=0}^{1000}{x^{2i+1}} + 3\sum\limits_{i=0}^{1000}{x^{2i}} = 0

Because x a + b = x a x b x^{a+b} = x^ax^b , an x x is factored from the odd exponents:

2 x i = 0 1000 x 2 i = 3 i = 0 1000 x 2 i 2x\sum\limits_{i=0}^{1000}{x^{2i}} = -3\sum\limits_{i=0}^{1000}{x^{2i}}

Because x = 0 x = 0 is not a solution to the original equation, x 2 i \sum{x^{2i}} is non-zero. Dividing each side by it yields:

2 x = 3 2x = -3

So x = 3 / 2 x = -3/2 , the only root.
