A turning point is a point on a graph where the function changes from increasing to decreasing or from decreasing to increasing The maximum number of turning points that a polynomial function can have is one less than the degree Note that if the degree is even then the end behavior has both ends going toward positive infinity or both ends going toward negative infinity which means that the function must have at least one turning point For a polynomial with odd degree the ends go in opposite directions so it doesn t have to have any turning points at all Question What is the maximum number of turning points that 325 4
