F(x)=-x^5+4x^3-x+1 # of turns # of solutions and is the right side going up or down?

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

See Discussion below.

Discussion:

From the attachment, f(x) has three real roots (and 2 complex roots).

As x increases, the polynomial approaches negative infinity and as x deceases it approaches positive infinity.

The attachment shows there are 3 "turning" or inflection points of f(x).

Thank you,

MrB

-362

step-by-step explanation:

(12)(4)+2(12)-34(12)+2(12)-3

  \/         \/         \/         \/

  48 +   24 -   408 + 24 - 3

      \   /               \   /

          72     -     432 - 3 = -363
