Theres these two related questions that are just mind boggling and I have no idea how to answer them…
-
What is the minimum number of inflection points that must exist between (and not at ) two critical points of a non-constant differentiable polynomial?
-
What is the maximum number of inflection points that can exist between two critical points of a differentiable function?

We have to stress that critical points are not counted. Also, note than a critical point is an inflection point iff it is in between one maximum point and one minimum point. Than we have:
