You can put this solution on YOUR website!
We can see by inspection that
f(x)=-2x(x-1)(x-2)(x+2)
has four zeroes, since setting it equal to zero gives four solutions.
Look at the leading term (when you multiply it out)...it is -2x^4...
When x goes to infinity, f(x) goes to negative infinity...
So we have choices A and C...turns out it has a maximum too, so
Choice D) all of the above.
