Answer 1

help?

Answer 2

(x-3)(x+2) = x^2-x-6

i don't know what "muliplicity" 2 means

Answer 3

meaning like there is two of (x-3)

Answer 4

Okay

Answer 5

But what do they want in the last question?

Answer 6

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

x-3 = 0
x+2 = 0

x = 3
x = -2

Answer 7

ok, but thats verifying it?

Answer 8

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

Answer 9

Thank you :)
