A seventh-degree polynomial function has zeros of -6 (multiplicity of 2), 0, 1 (multiplicity of 3), and 4.

1. The graph of the function [crosses straight through / is tangent to] the x-axis at -6.
   
2. The graph of the function [crosses straight through / is tangent to] the x-axis at 0.
   
3. The graph of the function [crosses straight through / is tangent to] the x-axis at 1.
   
4. The graph of the function [crosses straight through / is tangent to] the x-axis at 4.
