Does every nth degree polynomial have (n-1) critical numbers? Why or why not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How many critical numbers does \[\frac{(x-1)^3}{3}\]habe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One; 3... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean 3 is the critical number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops, one. haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, how does the statement that every nth degree polynomial has n-1 critical points hold against this fact?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow... a day of calc makes the numbers run together. XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gotcha... it doesn't. thanks! :D
