Question
A circle and a line intersect at most twice. A circle and a
parabola intersect at most four times. Deduce that a circle
and the graph of a polynomial of degree 3 intersect at most
six times. What do you conjecture about a polynomial of
degree 4? What about a polynomial of degree n? Can you
explain your conclusions using an algebraic argument?
