Question

what would the graph be for p(x) = x^3 + 3x^2 - 16x + 12?

i dont understand,

Answer 1

this is how ur graph will look like by choosing different values for x it will give u the values of P(x), then u can find the graph

Answer 2

another way to do that is by finding the maxima and minima, by taking the first and 2nd derivative to find the global critical points of max/min, and inflection if exists, this is know as optimization

Answer 3

I suspect that second part was nonsensical to somebody in her position...

Answer 4

i don't know the levels of people here i just answer questions, but as i said before i think it would be good that students are classified according to their levels at school, or colleges

Answer 5

I've suggested that in the past. I was only saying that the question itself suggests something like introductory algebra, rather than differential calculus.
