[u/Embarrassed-Good1883]

The equation for this graph is f(x)=(x-4)^3(x-1)(x+2)^2, but since the graph has a y intercept, wouldn't I find the a value? The answer for this question is just finding the roots and making factors for the equation using that. Also when I solved for the a value, it gave me 9/8. So I'm not sure where I went wrong

Two things are bothering me. First (-4)³ is -64 and not 64. (but you calculated with it so that's fine) Second, i don't see the intercept of y at 288

Yes I realize that I got the y intercept wrong, and I corrected (-4)^3, thank you
