Total institutions, such as prisons, presume that desocialization and resocialization occur, since one of their goals is to make prisoners law abiding.

Propose a theory for what might be happening, using the concept of resocialization.

a. Plot the graph on the given domain. You may use PLOT CUBIC or PLOT FUNCTION from the accompanying disk (or a similar plotting program), or calculate plotting data by synthetic substitution, either by pencil and paper or by the computer program.

b. Find all zeros, real and complex. Those not found in part (a) may be found by factoring $P(x)$ or by successive approximations using the computer program, below.
$P(x)=x^3+2 x^2-4 x-8, \quad-4 \leq x \leq 3$
