Analyze the graph of the given function f as follows:(a) Determine the end behavior: find the power function that the graph of f resembles for large values of |x|.(b)  Find the x- and y-intercepts of the graph.(c)  Determine whether the graph crosses or touches the x-axis at each x-intercept.(d)  Graph f using a graphing utility.(e)  Use the graph to determine the local maxima and local minima, if any exist. Round turning points to two decimal places.(f) Use the information obtained in (a) - (e) to draw a complete graph of f by hand. Label all intercepts and turning points.(g)  Find the domain of f. Use the graph to find the range of f.(h)  Use the graph to determine where f is increasing and where f is decreasing.f(x) =

(b) y-intercept: (0, 15), x-intercepts: (-3, 0), (3, 0), and (5, 0)
(c) The graph of f crosses the x-axis at each of the intercepts (-3, 0), (3, 0), and (5, 0).
(e) Local maximum at (-0.74, 16.17); Local minimum at (4.07, -2.35)
