A polynomial in factored form is when the polynomial is written as a product of its linear factors. Each linear factor represents an x-intercept and the power of the factor represents the multiplicity. When graphing a polynomial in the factored form we can determine each x-intercept by setting each linear factor to zero and solving. The multiplicity of each factor will tell us if the graph bounces or crosses at each x-intercept. We then need to determine the end behavior by identifying the leading coefficient and degree of the polynomial.
