Write the polynomial in standard form
3x^2 - 7x^4 + 9 - x ^ 4
What is
-8x^4 + 3x^ 2 + 9
These are solutions to polynomials where the graph crosses the x-axis.
zeros
If the polynomial is odd and the leading coefficient is positive then this happens to the end behavior
As x -> -oo , y -> -oo
As x -> +oo , y -> +oo
What are the factors of this graph if the x intercepts are at x = -6 and x = 0?

y = x2(x + 6)
Yes! The remainder is 0, so it is a factor!
Write the equation in standard form
y = (x + 2)2(3x + 1)
(x2 + 4x + 4)(3x + 1)
3x3 + 13x2 + 16x + 4
Based on the graph, the leading coefficient is...
positive
