Question 1116636: consider the polynomial p(x), shown in both standard form and factored form.
P(x)=1/10 X^4+9/10 X^3+19/10 x^3+19/10 x^2-9/10 x-2=1/10 (x+5)(x+4)(x+1)(x-1)
a. which sketch illustrates the end behavior of the polynomial function?
b. state the zeros of the function
c. state the y-intercept
d. state the graph of p(x)

The lead coefficient is positive and the polynomial is of even degree, hence the value of the function increases without bound on either end.

The zeros are the four numbers that would make each of the factors in the factored form equal to zero.

The -intercept is the point where is the constant term of the standard form.
