What is the maximum number of turns for the following sixth degree polynomial? f(x) = x^6 - 6x^4 + 11x2 - 6 I promise medals and fans.

OpenStudy (noelgreco):

The maximum number of turns in the graph of a polynomial is one less than the degree of the polynomial.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, would that be one less than 6?

OpenStudy (noelgreco):

Yep

OpenStudy (noelgreco):

Sure. It's a simple rule very much worth remembering.
