Sketch a possible graph for
. Begin by sketching the axes. Mark locations on the
-axis for , , , and . Then sketch a polynomial curve with roots at , , and , a double root at , and a triple root at . Solve
. Where is your curve below or touching the
-axis? Solve
. When do
and have opposite signs?
For example, where is the curve above the-axis on the left side of the -axis?
