True or False: The end behavior of a cubic function is influenced only by the x-coefficients.
Consider the nature of the leading term in polynomial functions.
Given the cubic function 𝑓(𝑥) = 4𝑥³ - 9𝑥² + 2, find the x-intercepts and sketch the function, noting all turning points.
Try factoring or using the Rational Root Theorem.
