Changing a Coefficient in Polynomials of Low Degree
Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
This Demonstration illustrates how changing a coefficient affects the shape of the graph of a poynomial and its first and second derivatives. Observe the variation in the location and number of critical and inflection points.
