help please how do i find the multiplicity and zeros. i attached a picture.

OpenStudy (marcelie):

Find all zeros of the following polynomial functions, noting multiplicities. f (x) = 2x^6 − 6x^5 + 18x^4

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Have you tried factoring the given polynomial ?

OpenStudy (marcelie):

yes. hold on let me take pic of it .

Oo I like that pen, what is that?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Very good! so far, you have figured out that "0" is a zero with a multiplicity of "4"

OpenStudy (marcelie):

yes. so im having trouble doing the other one so do i do the quadratic formula ? bc its going to give me i

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ofcourse yes, quadratic formula is always there for quadratic polynomials, use it..

OpenStudy (marcelie):

okay one sec.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

but wait a moment, you could also tell a lot about zeroes from the sign of discriminant

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Look at only the quadratic polynomial : \(x^2-3x+9\) whats the value of its discriminant ?
