Question 1098319
<br>Factor the expression in the first set of parentheses to get<br>
{{{f(x) = (x)(x+2)(x-3)}}}<br>
With the function written this way, it is clear that the function is of degree 3 with leading coefficient 1 (leading term x^3), and with zeros at 0, -2, and 3.<br>
Except for the exact y values, the degree, the leading coefficient, and the zeros together give a good picture of the general behavior of the graph.<br>
{{{graph(300,200,-5,5,-8,8,(x)(x+2)(x-3))}}}
