Looking at the graph

The end behavior of the given function is

f(x)→−∞, as x→−∞

f(x)→+∞, as x→+∞

The degree of the polynomial is Odd

The leading coefficient is positive

The degree of the polynomial is at least 3

so

Root with a multiplicity 1 -----> x=4

Root wit a multiplicity 2 (even) ---> x=-2

therefore

Real roots ---------> x=-2 and x=4

factors --------> (x-4) and (x+2)^2

A factor with an odd multiplicity ---------> (x-4)
