The function is 
1. let's factorize the expression
:
the zeros of f(x) are the values of x which make f(x) = 0.
from the factorized form of the function, we see that the roots are:
-3, multiplicity 1
3, multiplicity 1
0, multiplicity 3
(the multiplicity of the roots is the power of each factor of f(x) )
2.
The end behavior of f(x), whose term of largest degree is
, is the same as the end behavior of 
, which has a well known graph. Check the picture attached.
(similarly the end behavior of an even degree polynomial, could be compared to the end behavior of
)
so, like the graph of, the graph of :
"As x goes to negative infinity, f(x) goes to negative infinity, and as x goes to positive infinity, f(x) goes to positive infinity. "
