Question

Which of the following describes the roots of the polynomial function f (x) = (x minus 3) Superscript 4 Baseline (x + 6) squared?

Answer 1

Answer:

3 with multiplicity 4 and –6 with multiplicity 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Set equal to zero and solve for

x

. The multiplicity of a root is the number of times the root appears.

x=3(Multiplicity of 4)

x=−6(Multiplicity of 2)
