Define a polynomial function with all of the following properties. Roots: x=7, x=-8, x=0. It bounces off the horizontal axis at x=7 and x=-8, and crosses the horizontal axis at x=0. As x decreases without bounds, the graph decreases without bounds. As x increases without bounds, the graph increases without bounds
