Graphing Polynomials

f(x)=(x+4)(x-3)(x-2)

List the zeros for this function.

• x= -4, x=3, x= -2

• x= -4, x=3, x=2

• x= -4, x=-3, x=2

• x=4, x= -3, x= -2

Identify the zeros:

• x=-2, x=-1, x=0
• x=-2, x=0
• x=-1, x=0, x=2
• x=-2, x=0, x=1

• y=-(x+1)(x-2)(x-4)
• y=(x+1)²(x-3)(x-1)³
• y = 3x³ – 2x + 1
• y=(x+1)³(x-3)(x-1)²
