The polynomial function f is defined by f(x)x^4-3x^3-2x^2+4x+5.

Use a graphing calculator to find all the points (x,f(x)) where there is a local maximum.

Round to the nearest hundredth

1 answer

Rounding to the nearest hundredth using a calculator requires you to "zoom" in to find the local maximum.

There are two local minima and one local maximum, which are all found between -1 and 2.5.

Since it is a quartic with a positive leading coefficient, you can expect the curve to look like the letter W.
