A polynomial function of degree
has at most
distinct real zeros and at most
tuning points.
The function is .
The degree of the function is .
Since the degree of the function is (
), the function
has at most
(
) distinct real zeros and at most
(
) turning points.
Find the real zeros by equating to zero.
Solve the equation by using factoring.
Apply zero product property.
\Thus, real zeros of the function are
, and
.
The number of possible real zeros are .
Turning points are .
Real zeros are , and
.
