(3,0) (-5,0)

To find the intercepts or roots you need to set the equation equal to y.
$y = 2 (x - 3) {(x + 5)}^{3}$ $y=2(x−3)(x+5)^3$

$0 = 2 (x - 3) {(x + 5)}^{3}$ $0=2(x−3)(x+5)^3$

Now this problem is easy because its already factored.

When $x = 3, x = - 5$ $x=3, x=-5$ the equation is going to equal 0
