Intercept form gives the zeros immediately, including how the graph behaves at each one. We’ll solve each factor, use multiplicity to decide crossing or touching, and place the symmetry axis halfway between the zeros. Evaluating on that axis locates the vertex, while the leading coefficient and vertical intercept complete the orientation, range, and sketch.
