Problem 14

A polynomial function \(P\) and its graph are given. (a) List all possible rational zeros of \(P\) given by the Rational Zeros Theorem. (b) From the graph, determine which of the possible rational zeros actually turn out to be zeros. $$P(x)=4 x^{4}-x^{3}-4 x+1$$ (GRAPH CANNOT COPY)

Problem 29

Graphing Factored Polynomials Sketch the graph of the polynomial function. Make sure your graph shows all intercepts and exhibits the proper end behavior. $$P(x)=x^{3}(x+2)(x-3)^{2}$$
