Active Target Equation
Find turning points: y = x^4 - 6x^2 + 8x + 5
Find turning points and inflection characteristics of the full polynomial.
y = x^4 - 6x^2 + 8x + 5 dy/dx = 4x^3 - 12x + 8 4(x - 1)^2 (x + 2) = 0 Core: y = x^2 - 6x + 5
★ Foundational Core Simpler Problem (Polya Rule)
y = x^2 - 6x + 5

By stripping high-degree terms and solving the quadratic skeleton first, we isolate roots and turning behaviors before lifting back to 4th degree.
