Express the function definition, x^3-11x^2+36x-36.
Rendering makes it appear .

Typical shape for polynomial based on x^3 is increasing from the far left, increasing toward the far right, and may or may not have a left side maximum and a right side minimum.

Try to factorize using synthetic division and Rational Roots Theorem. Binomial factors will indicate the x-intercepts. Obviously the y intercept is .

Google showed a graph indicating the roots or zeros are 2, 3, and 6. You could get the same information using Rational Roots Theorem.
