Question

How do you find the multiplicity of an equation?

Answer 1

you look at the exponent

for example:

(x-2)^2 = 0

the root here is x = 2 with multiplicity 2

is that what you're asking?

Answer 2

\[\rm f(x) = (x - 2382819294)^{3282484592}\]Here, the root is \(\rm x = 2382819294\) and the multiplicity is 3282484592.

Answer 3

So the multiplicity is just whatever the number is raised to?
