Can the graph of a polynomial function have no \(y\) -intercept? Explain.
There is more than one third-degree polynomial function with the same three x-intercepts.
In Exercises 41–64, a. Use the Leading Coefficient Test to determine the graph’s end behavior. b. Find the x-intercepts. State whether the graph crosses the x-axis, or touches the x-axis and turns around, at each intercept. c. Find the y-intercept. d. Determine whether the graph has y-axis symmetry, origin symmetry, or neither. e. If necessary, find a few additional points and graph the function. Use the maximum number of turning points to check whether it is drawn correctly. $$f(x)=-2 x^{3}(x-1)^{2}(x+5)$$

Is every rational function a polynomial function? Why or why not? Does a true statement result if the two adjectives rational and polynomial are reversed? Explain.
