Question

Zeros and multiplicity of f(x)= 3(x+8)^2(x-8)^3. Need to check, thanks.

Answer 1

multiplicity only means the exponent of the factor

Answer 2

(x+8)^2
x=-8, mult: 2

------------
(x-8)^3
x= 8 , mult:3

Answer 3

so since you have \((x+8)^2\) that means \(-8\) is a zero with multiplicity \(2\)

Answer 4

yup

Answer 5

oh wow was just posting at the same time. what about the 3?
