Find m such that a given polynomial has all its roots real



Let f=X3+mX2+mX+1 be a polynomial with real coefficients and mR. Find m such that all of f's roots are real.




I could only think about having the following condition:
x21+x22+x230



This way, I've got m(,0)(2,)


Answer



Hint: Try X=1, and thus factorize the cubic into quadratic polynomial.







Answer



You'll get
X3+mX2+mX+1=(X+1)(X2+(m1)X+1)
using long division. Which means that
Δ=(m1)240
m22m30
m3orm1
And using the notation of set theory,
m(,1][3,)
