Replace xx by −x-x in the given equation; if α\alpha solves the original, −α-\alpha solves the transformed one.

Let f(x)=x4+5x3+11x+3f(x)=x^4+5x^3+11x+3 (no x2x^2 term, i.e. coefficient of x2x^2 is 00). If α\alpha is a root of f(x)=0f(x)=0, we want g(x)=0g(x)=0 whose roots are −α-\alpha. Take g(x)=f(−x)g(x)=f(-x): then g(−α)=f(α)=0g(-\alpha)=f(\alpha)=0, exactly as required.
