Find the x-intercepts of the polynomial function. State whether the graph crosses the x- axis, or touches the x-axis and turns around, at each intercept.
f(x) = (x + 1)(x - 6)(x - 1)^2

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
