Question

Find the zeros of the polynomial function and state the multiplicity of each.

f(x)=5(x+7)^2(x-7)^3

Answer 1

ok this is the vertex, Not a Conic Section

Answer 2

my answer is only if your doing a vertex

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

example

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

x-2=0 or x+3=0

x=2 or x = -3

Answer 5

OOOOOOOH i new that,

Answer 6

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

Answer 7

:)

Answer 8

-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

Answer 9

using my example, can you determine some of the roots?
