SP#2: Unit E Concept 7 - Graphing a polynomial and identifying all key parts

1) This problem is about graphing polynomials and including the x-intercepts,y-intercept, the zeroes(with their multiplicities) and the end behavior.To start the problem you must first factor the equation out. Then with the answers you get you will be able to sketch the graph.

2) When doing this type of problem you must first remember to factor it all out. Once you get the remaining value you must solve to zero and then you have your zeroes. You must remember that if it has  multiplicity of 1 then it goes through and if it has one of two then it bounces off.The y intercept is gotten by setting all the x's equal to zero(in this case your answer is zero). The end behavior in this case is even positive therefore the graph will face negative when going to the right and left.
