Graphing from Factored Form
Build a complete graph from factors, zeros, multiplicities, and intercepts.
Six-step graphing plan
- Find degree and leading coefficient.
- Identify every zero and multiplicity.
- Predict cross, bounce, or flatten behavior.
- Find the y-intercept.
- Determine end behavior.
- Connect all features with one smooth curve.
f(x)=−(x+2)²(x−1)
