Algebra 1 question? Pretty easy I think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which statement best describes the graph of x3 - 3x2 - x + 3? A) It starts down on the left and goes up on the right and intersects the x-axis at x = -1, 2, and 3. B) It starts down on the left and goes up on the right and intersects the x-axis at x = -1, 1, and 3. C) It starts up on the left and goes down on the right and intersects the x-axis at x = -1, 2, and 3. D) It starts up on the left and goes down on the right and intersects the x-axis at x = -1, 1, and 3.

I know its either B or D because I graphed it but i don't know how to describe it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to factor to find the x-intercepts

and if n is "odd" and a is positive then right side will rise left side will fall ) ---when n(degree) is odd and a is negative then right end will fall left end will rise

Nnesha (nnesha):

hmm n represent degree and a is leading coefficient

OpenStudy (anonymous):

heres the graph I made:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay based on what you are saying my choice is D

Nnesha (nnesha):

read that again :-)

your graph is |dw:1431886857891:dw|
