-----
End Behavior:
Because of the negative on the left, the graph starts in QII and ends in QIV.
---
Mark the x-values -6,-4,-2,3 on the x axis
----
Because of (x+6)^3 the graph passes through the axis at x = -6
----
Because of (x+4)^2 the graph touches but does not pass thru at x = -4
----
Because of (x+2)^5 the graph passes thru the axis at x = -2
---
Because of (x-3) the graph passes thru the axis at x = 3
