true

anonymous · Answer

What's a repeated factor?

anonymous · Answer

it crosses the x-plane twice right?

anonymous · Answer

Yep.

anonymous · Answer

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

I don't think so. :)

loser66 · Answer

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

loser66 · Answer

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"
@iGreen.

anonymous · Answer

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