Mathematics for Data Science 1 - W7_T6: Tutorial 6

Welcome to Week 7 Tutorial 6 of the course "Mathematics for Data Science I" by Profs. Neelesh Upadhye, Madhavan Mukund. Full Course: https://study.iitm.ac.in/ds/course_pages/BSMA1001.html Video Overview In this tutorial, we analyze a company’s profit in 2018 modeled by a quartic polynomial. The task is to identify the “golden months,” defined as the months in which profit exceeds $150,000. Using the factored form of the polynomial and graphical interpretation, we explore the roots, turning points, and intervals where the polynomial lies above the threshold. This problem demonstrates how polynomial analysis can be applied to real-world optimization and financial scenarios.
