You are having a conference call with the CEO of a paper company. You have interpreted the number of trees cut down versus profit as the function P(x) = -x4 + x3 + 7x2 - x - 6. Describe to the CEO what the graph looks like. Use complete sentences, and focus on the end behaviors of the graph and where the company will break even (where P(x) = 0).

I'm kind of struggling with algebra 2 right now.. I fell behind in school so I'm just trying to get things done.. So if you have time :) can I have a little help graphing it? I know I'm quite stupid when it comes to math :(
