(Simple Answer: Where the graph goes from up to down or down to up)
The correct steps to finding X & Y Intercepts
What is to find X-Intercepts set "Y" or "f(x)" to 0 and factor; for Y-Intercepts use the term "B" from the line equation y=mx+b?
(Simple Answer: Replace "Y" value with 0 and solve for X; To find the Y-Intercept use the term in the equation that doesn't have a X value)
These are the 5 Shapes of a Polynomial Function
What is:
0 is Constant w/ Shape Point
1 is Linear w/ Shape Line
2 is Quadratic w/ Shape Parabola

The Proper way to find/determine End Behavior
What is an even degree will either approach negative infinity(Left), negative infinity(Right) or positive infinity(Left), positive infinity(Right) and a odd degree will either approach positive infinity(Left), negative infinity(Right) or negative infinity(Left), positive infinity(Right); A positive Leading Coefficient will cause the left side of the graph to reach positive infinity and vise versa for a negative Leading Coefficient?
(Simple Answer: A positive LC (Leading Coefficient) will cause the left side of the graph to rise up and a negative LC will cause the left side to fall down; the right side of the graph is determined by the degree and if its even it will copy the left side and if odd it will be shaped opposite)
These different types of Multiplicity cause the graph to do this
What is an "odd" multiplicity causes the graph to cross the x-axis and an "even" multiplicity will rebound off the x-axis?
(Simple Answer: "Odd" or "1" multiplicity will go through the x-axis and "Even" or "2" multiplicity "bounces off" or "doesn't cross" the x-axis)

(Identify and Fix the Graph (There is ONE specific problem causing multiple issues with the graph)
What is a problem of an "Even Multiplicity"?
(Gabriel has the correct X-Intercepts but has drawn the graph with a multiplicity of "2" causing the Multiplicity, Turns & End Behavior to be wrong)

(List given factors of the equation)
f(x)=-x4-3x3+4x2
What is a Multiplicity of "2" with given factors of (0,0), (0,0), (-4,0), (1,0)?
(Explanation: The "duplicate" factors of "(0,0)" is what gives the multiplicity of "2" because there is two of them)
This Polynomial Function has __ number of Turns
(List and Draw the rough shape with proper number of Turns of the Function. (End Behavior, X & Y-Intercepts, etc doesn't matter for this exercise)
f(x)=x3+3x2-4x-12
What is "2" Turns?

The X & Y Intercept(s) of this Function
f(x)=-x4-3x3+4x2
What is a Y-Intercept of 0 and X-Intercepts of (-4,0), (1,0), (0,0) & (0,0)?
(Explanation: There is a Y-intercept of "0" because the function doesn't have a "b" term (a.k.a no term without a X value). The X-intercepts are factored like normal but there are two X-intercepts of the same due to factoring giving a function of x2=0 (This is what gives you two of the same answers).
