Determine the Zeros of a Polynomial by Factoring

The video tutorial explains how to analyze a polynomial function, specifically focusing on the function F(x) = 49 - x^2. It covers writing the function in standard form, determining the degree and leading coefficient, and using these to predict the end behavior of the graph. The tutorial also demonstrates how to find the intercepts by factoring the function using the difference of squares method and applying the zero product property. It further explains the concept of multiplicity and how it affects the graph's behavior at the zeros. The video concludes with a recommendation to explore additional resources on the difference of squares.
