Multiplicity

Which function might have the given graph?

• f(x) = (x - 6)²(x + 4)

• f(x) = (x + 6)²(x - 4)

• f(x) = x(x - 6)(x + 4)

• x = 0, -3 (multiplicity of 2), 2

• -3, 2

• 0, 2 (multiplicity of 3)

For each function, determine the real zeros and state the multiplicity of any repeated zeros.

• {0 mult. 3, 5, 2}

• {−2 mult. 3, 3, 1}

• {0 mult. 3, 3, 2}

• {2 mult. 3, 3, 3}

Even Multiplicities have which of the following effects on the x-axis?

• touches and bounces back

• wiggle

• crosses the x-axis

What is the equation in factored form of this graph?

• f(x) = (x-4)(x-1)²(x+2)(x+4)

• f(x) = (x-4)(x+1)²(x+2)(x+4)

• f(x) = (x-4)(x-1)²(x-2)(x+4)

• f(x) = (x+4)(x+1)²(x-2)(x-4)
