Abstract

Traditionally in calculus, the maximum number of turning points in the graph of a onevariable polynomial function is presented as (n − 1), where n is the degree of the polynomial. However, by using Descartes' rule of signs and certain properties of polynomial functions, we can establish a better estimate than the (n − 1) rule provides.
