Question 825356: So my teacher has asked us to create an equation for a "roller coaster" that has the following requirements:
-Your coaster ride must have at least 3 relative maxima and/or minima
-the ride length must be at least 4 minutes
-the coaster ride starts at 250 feet
The ride dives below the ground into a tunnel at least once
Also the zeros of this polynomial must be a double root, two real and two imaginary roots.
Please help this problem is due tomorrow
