Inflection Point Line (Posted on 2023-11-24) Difficulty: 3 of 5
A quartic polynomial is given to have two distinct inflection points, call those points I1 and I2. A line is drawn through these inflection points and intersects the quartic at two other points, call those points P1 and P2.

The four points will lay along the line in the order P1, I1, I2, P2.
Show that segments P1I1 and P2I2 are congruent.
Find the ratio of segment P1I1 to I1I2.
