To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x.
f(x)=0
By the zero product property, there are 3 x-intercepts.

f(x)= -2x(x-5)(x+1)(x-2)^2
When x has a very large positive value,
f(x)=-(+)(+)(+)(+)^2=-
Then f(x) has a very large negative value.

When x has a very large negative value,
f(x)=-(-)(-)(-)(-)^2=+
Then f(x) has a very large positive value.
