Determine the following from the polynomial functions:
a) f(x)=-4x^3(x-2)^2(x+5)
Degree: 6_ Leading coefficient: 4__ End Behavior: +oo as x goes to +oo ;
+oo as x goes to -oo
Zero: x = 0; multiplicity: 3
Zero: x = 2; multiplicity: 2
Zero: x = -5; multiplicity: 1

b) f(X)=x^3+x^2-9x-9
f(x) = (x+3)(x+1)(x-3)
------
Degree:3 ; Leading coefficient: 1__ End Behavior:+oo as x goes to +oo ;
-oo as x goes to -oo_____
Zero:x = -3; multiplicity: 1
Zero:x = -1; multiplicity: 1
Zero:x = 3; multiplicity: 1
==========
