Answer

The student flipped the signs on the factors.

Work Step by Step

In order to graph this function, we first see the degree of the function to see the overall shape of the function. Here, we see that the degree of the function is 3. Next, we use the intercepts (based on the factors) to find where the function actually passes through. We also check for shifts and transformations in the function. This creates the overall graph.
