It is an equation in one variable, simple. . .
Which means?
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 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 ∑ 1 0 0 0 x 2 i + 1 + 3 i = 0 ∑ 1 0 0 0 x 2 i = 0
Because x a + b = x a x b , an x is factored from the odd exponents:
2 x i = 0 ∑ 1 0 0 0 x 2 i = − 3 i = 0 ∑ 1 0 0 0 x 2 i
Because x = 0 is not a solution to the original equation, ∑ x 2 i is non-zero. Dividing each side by it yields:
2 x = − 3
So x = − 3 / 2 , the only root.

The equation can be factored as:
( 2 x + 3 ) ( 1 + x 2 + x 4 + x 6 + . . . + x 2 0 0 0 ) = 0
0nly one factor gives a real root.
