So, what would this guy look
like?

Both tails shoot down... |
 |
I'm not really sure about
those wobbles though... Not without the specific info...
And not without a graphing calculator... OR CALCULUS!
So, I'll just do my best and draw a basic shape for now.
|
Remember that a
4th
degree polynomial can cross the x-axis,
at most, FOUR times. This info really helps with these
rough sketches! |
 |
| What about |
 |
? |
It can cross, at most, six
times... positive even degree always starts with the left
tail up... Let this info guide the shape as you draw...
 |
Both tails shoot up.
It COULD have two mountains and
three valleys.
