Determine the real zeros of the function and their multiplicity. Use this information to determine whether the graph crosses or touches the x-axis at each x-intercept.  Also, determine the domain and range of function as well as the x and y intercepts. Help!! Not sure on any of this!! </SPAN>\n" );
