6. Use the given information to factor, solve, or find the zeros for the given function or equation.
8. Write a polynomial function f (x) in standard form of least degree that has rational coefficients, a
leading coefficient of 1, and the given zeros.
a) −1, 0, 3 b. 2i, 4
9. State the zeros of the function and the multiplicity of each zero, the y-intercept, end behavior,
whether the degree is even or odd, and if the LC is positive or negative. Then sketch a graph. (NOTE:
If the function is not already given in factored form, it must be factored first)
