Find the zeros for the given polynomial function and give the multiplicity for each zero. State whether the graph crosses the x-axis or touches the x-axis and turns around at each zero.
f(x)= x^3 - 12x^2 + 36x

Question

Find the zeros for the given polynomial function and give the multiplicity for each zero. State whether the graph crosses the x-axis or touches the x-axis and turns around at each zero.
f(x)= x^3 - 12x^2 + 36x

jennithemeani · Answer

1. multiply the coefficient of the first number with the last

1x36
What do you get?

jennithemeani · Answer

2. The answer is 36 now find multiples
1x36
2x18
3x12
4x9
6x6

Which of them can be added or subtracted to get -12?

jennithemeani · Answer

3. -6, -6
Now break the -12x into -6x-6x

jennithemeani · Answer

*Correcction -12x^2 into -6x^2-6x^2
