What is the maximum number of possible extreme values for the function f(x)=x^4+x^3-7x^2-x+6
2 answers:
A 4th degree polynomial will have at most 3 extreme values. Since the degree is even, there will be one global extreme, with possible multiplicity. The remainder, if any, will be local extremes that may be coincident with each other and/or the global extreme.
(The number of extremes corresponds to the degree of the derivative, which is 1 less than the degree of the polynomial.)

Answer:
The phenotypic ratio of the offspring will be 100% of purple flowers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mendel's first law states that if two pure lines are crossed for a given character, the descendants of the first generation will all be equal to each other, phenotypically and genotypically, and phenotypically equal to one of the parents (of dominant genotype).
The Punnett square is a square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment.
We represent the possibilities of hybridization using a Punnett square in the attached picture.
Uppercase letters represent dominant alleles and lowercase letters represent recessive alleles.
Homozygous individuals have the same pair of alleles. (AA, aa)
We can verify that all offspring have a dominant allele, therefore all offspring will have purple flowers.
