Answer:

-(x+4)(x+1)(x-3).

Explanation:

Let find the roots of the polynomial function. Roots are the x intercept( what is the value of x when y=0)

The roots are -4,-1,and 3. We can represent that as

(x+4)(x+1)(x-3)

This is a negative polynomial so we will reflect it across the x axis by putting a negative sign in front of the roots.

-(x+4)(x+1)(x-3).
