Determine the Zeros for a Polynomial by Factoring

The video tutorial explains how to analyze the end behavior of a graph by examining the degree and leading coefficient. It then demonstrates finding the zeros of a function by setting it to zero and factoring, highlighting the importance of recognizing a difference of squares. The tutorial also covers determining the multiplicity of zeros and how it affects the graph's behavior at intercepts. The session concludes with a summary of the problem-solving process and key takeaways.
