3. Solve for any value in between two x-intercepts. That region is the sign of the solved value. 3. Find the sign of the end behaviour by taking the sign of the leading coefficient.
4. When crossing an x-intercept, if the degree of that factor is even, the sign stays the same; otherwise, it alternates. 4. When crossing an x-intercept, if the degree of that factor is even, the sign stays the same; otherwise, it alternates.
