Step 1
Turning Point: A turning point is a point of the graph where the graphchanges from increasing to decreasing or decreasing to increasing
Step 2
Note : A polynomial of degree n will have as most (n−1) turning points
f(x)=4+x6x33x3x22x42x5
=2x42x5
degree (f(x))=6
f(x) can have 6-1 = 5 turning points i.e ,maximum number of turning points is 5
