ok this is the vertex, Not a Conic Section

anonymous · Answer

my answer is only if your doing a vertex

hint: if x-k is a factor, then k is a zero

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

example

(x-2)(x+3) = 0

x-2=0 or x+3=0

x=2 or x = -3

anonymous · Answer

OOOOOOOH i new that,

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

the exponent over each factor tells you the multiplicity of that factor

anonymous · Answer

:)

anonymous · Answer

-7, multiplicity 2; 7, multiplicity 3

 4, multiplicity 1; -7, multiplicity 3; 7, multiplicity 3

-7, multiplicity 3; 7, multiplicity 2

 4, multiplicity 1; 7, multiplicity 1; -7, multiplicity 1

those are my answers to choose from
