y = (x-5)^3

Answer 1

x=5...it's a triple zero of that function

Answer 2

x=5

Answer 3

Multiplicity 3

Answer 4

So in x(x-8)^2 would the multiplicity be 2 or...?

Answer 5

x=0 multiplicity 1, and x=8 multiplicity 2

Answer 6

The multiplicity of 8 would be 2 and the multiplicity of 0 would be 1
