%N Number of real zeros of the polynomial whose coefficients are the decimal digits of prime(n).

%C a(n) is the number of real zeros of the polynomial Sum_{k>=0} d(k) x^k

%C where d(k) are the digits of the decimal expansion of prime(n) = Sum_{k>=0} 10^k*d(k).

%e a(167) = 2 because prime(167) = 991 => P(167,x) = 1 + 9*x + 9*x^2 has 2 real-valued roots, -0.8726779962... and -0.1273220038...

%p A175801 := proc(n) d := convert(ithprime(n),base,10) ; P := add( op(i,d)*x^(i-1),i=1..nops(d)) ; [fsolve(P,x,real)] ; nops(%) ; end proc:
