Roller Coaster Polynomial Project

Expedition Everest
The name of my roller coaster is Expedition Everest because that is my favorite ride at Disney.
Max/Min/Intervals of Increase and Decrease
Max: (2.421 , 165.505)
Min: (4.419 , -1582.647)
IOI: (1 , 2.421)(4.419 , 5.18)
IOD: (0 , 1)(2.421 , 4.419)

Desmos Graph / Domain and Range
Domain: 0<X<5.18
The X axis represents time which means the ride starts at 0 minutes and ends at around 5 minutes.
Range: -1582.647<Y<165.505
The Y axis is represented as height so the highest point was about 166 feet and the lowest was around -1583 feet.
Equation / Division Check
Factored Form: 8(x-1)^2
Standard Form: 8x^6-80x^5+264x^4-384x^3+376x^2-304x=120
All zeros divided were correct and had no remainder.
Work for standard form conversion.
