g(x) = x6 − bx4 + c
i. For positive values of b, answer the following: (a) How many inflection points does g(x) have?
(a) How many inflection points does g(x) have?
(b) How does increasing the value of a affect the shape of the graph and the position of the inflection points? Illustrate by sketching 3 well-chosen family members, indicating the value of b for each.
iiii. For negative values of b, answer the following:
(a) How many inflection points does g(x) have?
b) How does decreasing the value of b affect the shape of the graph and the position of the inflection points? Illustrate by sketching 3 well-chosen family members, indicating the value of b for each.
iii. Find values of b and c so that (1, 10) is an inflection point of g(x) = x 6 − bx4 + c
