Step1: Find zeros via factor roots
Set each factor equal to 0:
$x-8=0 \implies x=8$ (multiplicity 2)
$x+6=0 \implies x=-6$
$x-11=0 \implies x=11$
Step2: Identify horizontal intercepts
Horizontal intercepts are the zero pairs $(x,0)$:
$(8,0), (-6,0), (11,0)$
Step3: Calculate vertical intercept
Set $x=0$ and solve for $f(0)$:
$$
\begin{align*}
f(0)&=2(0-8)^2(0+6)(0-11)\\
&=2(64)(6)(-11)\\
&=2\times64\times(-66)\\
&=128\times(-66)\\
&=-8448
\end{align*}
$$
Step4: Find polynomial degree
Sum exponents of factors: $2+1+1=4$
