What you want? Roots? Max or Mins? Graph?

Learn about the basic shapes for polynomial functions, and learn to use Rational Roots Theorem and synthetic division and you can usually find what you want.

You would be interested in checking yours for possible roots, -1, -3, 1, 3, -1/2, -3/2, 1/2, 3/2. Check for these roots using synthetic division.

Derivative set to 0 will help you find any maximum or minimum values for f.
