Question 802447: f(x)=4x^4-24x^3+35x^2+6x-9
I have to graph this polynomial function. Minimum/maximums do NOT matter, I just need to know whether it goes up or down. I'm not sure how to break down the equation into simpler terms to find the roots. Help, please? Thank you!

f(x)=4x^4-24x^3+35x^2+6x-9
I have to graph this polynomial function.
---
Pick values for x and find y. Plot the points, draw a curve thru them.

It's a complex graph. From left to right, it goes down, then it goes up, then it goes down, then it goes up.

Look for roots that are factor of 9. 1, 3 and 9 (plus and minus). There might be some, might not.
