This picture presents a polynomial and executes the solutions needed to find its properties, including: x-int, y-int, zeroes (with multiplicities), end behavior. You must find the x-intercepts (with multiplicities), y-intercept, and identify end behavior. With those values, you must graph your polynomial and make sure it corresponds with your findings. The steps to the problem are shown on the top and the answers are in the bottom portion of the picture. The arrows correspond to the parts you may look at if you are stuck on your own.
Note that the extrema and intervals of increase and decrease do not need to be found, they are there if you need help in determining how far to go when creating the "humps" of the graph. Make sure to factor all the way through so your zeroes match the degree of the polynomial. Also, make the factors equal to zero so you get the right value. List the multiplicity of each zero even if it only shows up once.
