x^7 - 3x^4+2x^3-k=0

according to sign change rule there are 3 pair of sign + -, - +, + - ,       see the sign before coefficient of different powers

so 3 positive real roots are confirmed

now take  x = -x

we get -x^7 - 3x^4 - 2x^3 - k = 0, there is no sign change so no negative root

total real roots = 3

so imaginary roots = 4
