Question

HELP PLEASE!
Find the zeros of the polynomial function and state the multiplicity of each.
f(x) = 3(x + 9)2(x - 93
A) 4, multiplicity 1; -9, multiplicity 3; 9, multiplicity 3
B)4, multiplicity 1; 9, multiplicity 1; -9, multiplicity 1
C)-9, multiplicity 3; 9, multiplicity 2
D)-9, multiplicity 2; 9, multiplicity 3

Answer 1

The 3 and the 2 are just to throw you off because you can just divide them out so the first zero is -9 because you have to subtract to find x with a multiplicity of 1 since there is no power (the small number) and the second is 93 since you add it to solve for x and multiplicity of 1. Is the second part asking to make an equation for it?
