This document provides steps for graphing polynomials: 1) Find the degree by counting exponents. A degree of 4 is found for (x-5)(x+2)^2(x+4). 2) Determine if it is normal (no negative) or un-normal (with negative) based on degree and sign. Arrows are flipped for un-normal graphs. 3) Plot points and determine if the line bounces off, squiggles through, or passes through based on even or odd exponents.
