Solve the problem.What can you say about the inflection points of the quartic curve
Give reasons for your answer.
What will be an ideal response?
The curve can have 0 or 2 inflection points. The second derivative is quadratic, and quadratics may have 0, 1, or 2 roots, depending on the value of the discriminant. If
then y " has no real roots and y has no inflection points. If
then y " has exactly one real root and y has a single inflection point. Finally, if
then y " has two real roots and y has exactly two inflection points.
