Given the following function:


h(x)=0.1(x-3)^2(x+3)^3

The function has a degree = 5 (odd number)

And the leading coefficient = 0.1 (A positive number)

So, the end behavior will be as follows:


\begin{gathered} x\to\infty\Rightarrow h(x)\to\infty \\ x\to-\infty\operatorname{\Rightarrow}h(x)\to-\infty \end{gathered}

So, the answer will be:

The end behavior of the function is down to the left

and up to the right.

===========================================================

Part 2: Find the y-intercepts

The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0

so, we will substitute x = 0 and find the value of y


y=0.1(0-3)^2(0+3)^3=0.1*9*27=24.3

So, the answer will be:

y-intercept = 24.3

===========================================================

Now, we'll graph the function using the data from the previous parts

We will make a table between x and y to graph the function

The table and the graph will be as follows:
