The values of the coefficients, a2 and a1 of the source quartic function y = a4x4 + a2x2 + a1x
      The basic classification criteria diagram
      The graphs and classification criteria diagram for the quartics types 4/1 to 4/6
         The zeros and the abscissas of the turning points of the source quartics types 4/1 to 4/6
The coordinates of translations formulas and the values of the coefficients of the source quartic function
Thus,      y = a4x4 + a3x3 + a2x2 + a1x + a0    or    y - y0 = a4(x - x0)4 + a2(x - x0)2 + a1(x - x0),
by setting  x0 = 0  and  y0 = 0 we get the source quartic   y = a4x4 + a2x2 + a1x.
The basic classification criteria diagram for the quartic function
By setting the coefficients a2 and a1 of the source quartic to zero, interchangeably, obtained is the basic classification shown in the diagram.
