Question

PLEASE HELP MEEE!!! True or False. 0 has an odd multiplicity the polynomial x^4-25x^2

Answer 1

anyone???

Answer 2

I think it's asking if x = 0 is a root with odd multiplicity

Answer 3

If so, then notice how

x^4-25x^2 = 0

can factor to

x^2(x^2-25) = 0

Answer 4

Can you see what the roots are?

Answer 5

x=0 x=+5 x=-5??

Answer 6

good

Answer 7

x^2 = 0 yields two roots that are the same, which are x = 0

So the multiplicity of x = 0 is two

Answer 8

so it is even which would make it false??

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

ok thanks can you help me with a few others??
