Which statement best describes the graph of x^3 - 3x^2 - 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 the answers are between b and d because the intersection points are x = -1, 1, 3. Please help with beginning portion.
