Procedures

For $p(x) = (x + 3)^2(x - 1)^3(x - 5)$ , which of the following
correctly describes the graph behavior at each zero?

Bounces at $x = -3$ ; bounces at $x = 1$ ; crosses at $x = 5$

Crosses at $x = -3$ ; bounces at $x = 1$ ; crosses at $x = 5$

Bounces at $x = -3$ ; crosses at $x = 1$ ; crosses at $x = 5$

Crosses at $x = -3$ ; crosses at $x = 1$ ; bounces at $x = 5$
