Which statement describes the graph of f of x is equal to negative x to the 4th power plus 3 x cubed plus 10 x squared ?

Factor the polynomial: f(x) = −x²(x − 5)(x + 2). The root x = 0 has multiplicity 2, so the graph touches the x-axis there; the roots x = 5 and x = −2 have multiplicity 1, so the graph crosses at both.
