  1. Find XX-Intercepts: Look at the graph to find the xx-intercepts, which are the points where the graph crosses the xx-axis. These xx-values are the roots of the polynomial f(x)f(x).
  2. Apply Factor Theorem: If the graph crosses the x-axis at x=ax = a, then (xa)(x - a) is a factor of f(x)f(x) according to the factor theorem.
  3. Identify Intercepts: Identify all the xx-intercepts from the graph. Let's say they are x=px = p, x=qx = q, and x=rx = r.
  4. Write Down Factors: Write down the factors corresponding to each xx-intercept. So the factors are (xp)(x - p), (xq)(x - q), and (xr)(x - r).
  5. Verify Factors: Check if each factor corresponds to an actual xx-intercept on the graph to ensure no mistakes were made.
