Question

Find the zeros of the polynomial and state the multiplicity: f(x)= (x-3)^2(x-5)^3(2x+1)

Answer 1

each quantity represents the zeros of the polynomial...

Answer 2

sooo is it x=3 x=5 and x=-1/2 for my zeros?

Answer 3

yes and the multiplicity refers to the degree wherein they appear...

Answer 4

meaning how one is squared and one is cubed?

Answer 5

yes...

Answer 6

okay so just to sum up my answers are:
x=3 with a multiplicity of 2
x=5 with a multiplicity of 3
and x=-1/2 with a multiplicity of 1?

Answer 7

yes that is correct...

Answer 8

yay! thank you : )

Answer 9
