are these right?

anonymous · Answer

You mixed up the answers for question 2. Re-read your answers for question 2.

anonymous · Answer

wait so it'd be 3, multiplicity 2; 5, multiplicity 2? @Azteck

anonymous · Answer

Go by what you did in question 1. If what you wrote just now matches what you did in question 1, then you know it's correct.

anonymous · Answer

I am  very confused...

anonymous · Answer

Your new answer is correct, you switched the zeroes and the multiplicity for question 2 in your original answer.

anonymous · Answer

So they are both correct now? @TimSmit

anonymous · Answer

Dude, be confident of what you put. Being dependent on us strangers rather than feeling that the answer is correct means you're not confident at all.

anonymous · Answer

of what you put as the answer*

anonymous · Answer

oh...okay....

anonymous · Answer

They are correct :) but as azteck says, you came close to the solution yourself which shows you understand, but mixed two numbers, it happens.

:) Thank you for pointing it out.
