For each polynomial function, find (a) the end behavior; (b) the $y$ -intercept; (c) the $x$ -intercept(s) of the graph of the function and the multiplicities of the real zeros; (d) the symmetries of the graph of the function, if any; and (e) the intervals on which the function is positive or negative. Use this information to sketch a graph of the function. Factor first if the expression is not in factored form. $$f(x)=-x^{3}-2 x^{2}-x$$

Complete graphs of polynomial functions whose zeros are integers are shown. a. Find the zeros and state whether the multiplicity of each zero is even or odd. b. Write an equation, expressed as the product of factors, of a polynomial function that might have each graph. Use a leading coefficient of 1 or -1, and make the degree of f as small as possible. c. Use both the equation in part (b) and the graph to find the $y$-intercept. $$[-3,6,1] \text { by }[-10,10,1]$$
