Question

State the zeros for each polynomial function.

Answer 1

For the zeros, I got 0 and 2. What I'm having trouble with is the second part of the question. "State the multiplicity of any roots if the multiplicity is 2 or higher." How can I tell if there is a multiplicity? Is there any way to tell solely from looking at the graph alone?

Answer 2

Ahh great question,
yessss there is a way :)

Answer 3

Do you remember what an `even polynomial` looks like?
Let's take y=x^2 for exampleat the origin, it sort of... "bounces" off, ya? turns around in a nice clean way.

Answer 4

how bout an odd polynomial?
let's take y=x^3 as an exampleit cuts through the origin, but not in the same way a straight line does, more curvy right?
