what is the multiple zero and multiplicity of f(x)=(x+4)(x-2)(x+4)(x+4)?

OpenStudy (gorv):

put term in each bracket =0 and find the value of x

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

i dont know how

OpenStudy (gorv):

x+4=0 x-2=0 do all term like this and find x

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

oh

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

ok

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

x=-4 x=2

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

@gorv

OpenStudy (gorv):

how many x=-4 u got ??

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

3

OpenStudy (gorv):

so it will be its multiplicity

OpenStudy (gorv):

and x=-4 and 2 are its zeros

OpenStudy (gorv):

multiple zero = repeated roots

OpenStudy (gorv):

means the zero coming more than one time

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

so the multiplicty is 3 and the multiplicity is 3?

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

multiple zero is -4? sorry

OpenStudy (gorv):

yeah

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

ok

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

thank you :)
