Given the following polynomial,
f(x)=(x+5)(x-3)(x+3)
-----------------------------
find
a).the zeros and the multiplicity of each
Ans: x = -5,-3,or 3, each with multiplicity one.
------------------------
b).where the graph crosses or touches the x-axis
Ans: At each of those x values.
-----------------------------------
c).number of turning points
Ans: 2
---------------------
d).end behavior
to negative as x goes negative
to positive as x goes positive
