1. Suppose f(x) = p(x) where p(x) is a cubic polynomial. What are the possibilities for critical points for such a function? (HINT: THINK ABOUT WHERE CRITICAL POINTS CAN COME FROM). List possible number of c.p.'s (i.e., if it is only possible to have 0 or 1 critical point, your answer should be 0,1) Examples of f'(x) for each possibility: 1 0,1,2 1.
