A quartic function is a polynomial function of degree four. It can be expressed in the general form: \\\[ f(x) = ax^4 + bx^3 + cx^2 + dx + e \\\] where: - \\( a, b, c, d, e \\) are constants (with \\( a \\neq 0 \\) to ensure that the polynomial is indeed of degree four), - \\( x \\) is the variable.
