Answer 3

true

Answer 4

What's a repeated factor?

Answer 5

it crosses the x-plane twice right?

Answer 6

Yep.

Answer 7

And this one does, and you said 'true', so your answer is correct.

Answer 8

I don't think so. :)

Answer 9

The question is about that polynomial has a REPEATED factor. And it is NOT true

Answer 10

Since repeated factor is something like : "the graph passes through a point on the x-axis twice" but your graph crosses the x-axis at 2 different points. So, it doesn't have "REPEATED FACTOR"

Answer 11

Oh, so repeated factors only cross the x-axis at one place?
