Sketching the Graph of a Polynomial Function With Calculus - A Step by Step Example

In this video I analyze and sketch the graph of a polynomial function using the following steps: 1. Identify the critical numbers 2. Identify the possible points of inflection 3. Identify the intervals on which the function is increasing and decreasing 4. Identify the intervals on which the function is concave up and concave down. 5. Draw the graph based on the results If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments section.
