Please graph it so I can see the graph.
Thank you sooo much!

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

If a root of -1 is with a multiplicity of 1, then the polynomial has a factor of
x-(-1)=x+1.

If a root of 3 is with a multiplicity of 2, then the polynomial has a factor of
(x-3)^2.

Then the polynomial function will be of the form


f(x)=a(x+1)(x-3)^2

There are two cases,
a>0 and
a<0

Two graphs are attached.
