Consider first the equation (7x^{3}+x^{2}-35x-5=0). Dividing by 7 gives (x^{3}+\frac{1}{7}x^{2}-5x-\frac{5}{7}=0). For a cubic (x^{3}+px^{2}+qx+r=0), the discriminant is (\Delta=18pqr-4p^{3}r+p^{2}q^{2}-4q^{3}-27r^{2}). Here (p=\frac17,; q=-5,; r=-\frac57). Substituting, [ \Delta =18!\left(\frac17\right)(-5)!\left(-\frac57\right) -4!\left(\frac17\right)^{3}!\left(-\frac57\right) +\left(\frac17\right)^{2}(25) -4(-125) -27!\left(\frac{25}{49}\right). ] Simplifying term by term gives [ \Delta=\frac{450}{49}+\frac{20}{343}+\frac{25}{49}+500-\frac{675}{49}. ] Combining the fractional terms, [ \frac{450+25-675}{49}+\frac{20}{343} =-\frac{200}{49}+\frac{20}{343} =-\frac{1380}{343}. ] Hence [ \Delta=500-\frac{1380}{343}=\frac{170120-1380}{343} =\frac{168740}{343}>0. ] Therefore the equation has three distinct real roots.
