The Solution:
The given function is
[tex]f(x)=(x+5)(2x-1)[/tex]
Finding the zeros of the given function, we have
[tex]\begin{gathered} x+5=0\text{ and} \\ 2x-1=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]
These give us
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=-5\text{ or} \\ 2x=1 \\ x=\frac{1}{2} \\ So,\text{ the zeros of f(x) are -5, and }\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]
The Multiplicity of the zero x = -5 is 1 while
The Multiplicity of the zero x = 1/2 is 1 (since they both appeared once)
The Effect of the zero x = -5 is intersect while
The Effect of the zero x = 1/2 is intersect.
