determine the leading coefficient and then write the polynomial (degree 4) given the intercepts: x=-4, x=0, x=4, y=0

I don't believe that you have enough information because you can create more that one function.

 

y  =  -x(x + 4)2(x - 4)         y  =  x2(x + 4)(x - 4)       etc.

 

These functions can also have other non-zero coefficients:  y  =  -3x(x + 4)2(x - 4)            y  =  5x2(x + 4)(x - 4)
