Question

What is the maximum number of relative extrema contained in the graph of this function
F(x)=3x^3-x^2+4x-2

Answer 1

o find the maximum number of relative extrema work out the derivative set to 0 and solve. \[f(x)=3x⁵-x³+4x-2 f'(x)=15x^4-3x^2+4 15x^4-3x^2+4=0\] has no real roots so the answer is 0.

Answer 2

what on earth?

Answer 3

@Dianie can you find the derivative of you polynomial?

Answer 4

oh nvm it is probably not calculus you are not asked for the relative extrema, just how many
what is the degree of your polynomial?
