Question

How many zeros does x(x-1)^2 have?

a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4

I think it's b) 2 but I'm not sure?

Answer 1

D, because of the zero rule, I am not sure what it is called, but it says that the highest degree in the problem represents how many zeros it has

Answer 2

Are you sure? Idk

Answer 3

I believe the highest order would be 3

Answer 4

I am sure about the rule, just simplify until you get the answer

Answer 5

Sorry the highest degree

Answer 6

oops my bad too I meant highest degree as well

Answer 7

Can you help me with that?

Answer 8

Is it 3?

Answer 9

Well to simplify we notice that we need to pay attention to the 2 power and using what we know about math and it's rules....we know we need to apply the 2 power to the expression on the inside first

Answer 10

x(x^2-1^2)
x(x^2-1)
??

Answer 11

Right so far?

Answer 12

Now you see what you did is a common mistake since you can't just put the 2 power in

Answer 13

Oops...
