Question

Determine the maximum possible number of turning points for the graph of the function

Answer 1

Given the function:

`f(x)=9x^7-2x^6-5x-8`

The maximum possible number of turning points of a function is one less than the degree of the function.

This function is 7th degree function, thus the maximum possible number of turning points is:

7 - 1 = 6

Therefore, the maximun number of turning points is 6

ANSWER:

C) 6
