Question

What are the zeroes of the function? What are their multiplicities?

f(x) = x^4 – 4x^3 + 3x^2

Answer 1

Factor the function first. Can you do this?

Answer 2

take out the GCF which is x^2

Answer 3

That's part one. you'll get f(x)=x^2(x^2-4x+3)
you can still factor what's inside there - it's an easy problem - can you do it?

Answer 4

x^2(x^2-4x+3) right

Answer 5

oh and no im not sure how to factor whats inside there

Answer 6

Do you know the quadratic formula or completing the square? Either works.

Answer 7

i know the quadratic formula

Answer 8

okay solve x^2-4x+3=0
