    We know that imaginary roots always come in pairs, so we already know 4 solutions

    -2, 2, 4 + i and a pair of 4 + i

    Since imaginary roots always come in pairs we wont have more than 2 imaginary roots, since its a fifth degree root and we can only have 5 roots

    So for sure, we will have 3 real roots and 2 imaginary roots

    Last option, f (x) has three real roots and two imaginary roots
