Question 1201436
<br>
NOTE for future reference: Use "^" (shift-6)to denote an exponent:  "((8x-1)^5)((x-1)^13" instead of "(8x − 1)5(x − 1)13"<br>
The graph of a polynomial will cross the x-axis if the power of a root is odd; it will only touch the x-axis if the power is even.<br>
The two roots in your example are x = 1/8 and x = 1; the powers of both roots are odd, so the graph will cross the x-axis at each root.<br>
Smaller x-intercept: (1/8,0)
Larger x-intercept: (1,0)<br>
