find the zeros of the function and state the multiplicities
find the zeros of the function and state the multiplicities
p(×)=3× (×+2)*3(×+4)
Solution
P(x) = 3x*(x+2)*3*(x+4)
function is zero at:
x = 0
x+2 = 0 , x = -2
x+4 = 0, x = -4
function have zeros at x = 0, -2, & -4
multiplicities of zero = 1
multiplicities of (-2) = 1
multiplicities of (-4) = 1
multiplicities of function = 1+1+1 = 3
