A. x = 0, touches the x-axis and turns around;
x = -4, crosses the x-axis;
x = 1, touches the x-axis and turns around
B. x = 0, crosses the x-axis;
x = -4, crosses the x-axis;
x = -1, crosses the x-axis;
x = 1, crosses the x-axis
C. x = 0, touches the x-axis and turns around;
x = -4, crosses the x-axis;
x = -1, crosses the x-axis;
x = 1, crosses the x-axis
D. x = 0, touches the x-axis and turns around;
x = 4, crosses the x-axis;
