Find the X-Intercepts of the Polynomial Function $$f ( x ) = ( x + 1 ) ( x - 9 ) ( x - 1 ) ^ { 2 }$$

Multiple Choice

Find the x-intercepts of the polynomial function. State whether the graph crosses the x-axis, or touches the x-axis and turns around, at each intercept.
- $$f ( x ) = ( x + 1 ) ( x - 9 ) ( x - 1 ) ^ { 2 }$$
