\

Real zeros are intercepts of the graph.

\

2. Test points.

\

Choose values for x and find the corresponding values for y.

3. End behavior.

\

\"\"

\

Degree of polynomial is 3 and leading coefficient 1.

\

The graph of a polynomial function is always a smooth curve, that means, it has no breaks or corners.

\

4. Graph:

\

1.Draw a coordinate plane.

\

2.Plot the intercepts and coordinate points found in the table.

\

3.Then sketch the graph, connecting the points with a smooth curve.
