help?

hero · Answer

(x-3)(x+2) = x^2-x-6

i don't know what "muliplicity" 2 means

anonymous · Answer

meaning like there is two of (x-3)

hero · Answer

Okay

anonymous · Answer

But what do they want in the last question?

hero · Answer

(x-3)(x+2)= 0

x-3 = 0
x+2 = 0

x = 3
x = -2

anonymous · Answer

ok, but thats verifying it?

hero · Answer

algebraically yes. You can also graph x^2-x-6 to verify as well

Thank you :)
