Multiplicity and End Behavior of Polynomials

What are the zeros of the graph?

• -4, -1, 2, 1 multiplicity 2

• -4, -1, 1, 2

• 4, 1, -2, -1 multiplicity 2

• 4, 1, -1, -2

f(x)= x²(x – 2)³(x – 7)

Find and select each real zero and its multiplicity

• 0 (Mult of 2), 2 (Mult of 3), 7 (mult 1)

• 2 (Mult of 3), 7 (mult 1)

• 0, 2, 7

• 2 (mult of 2), 7 (mult of 3)

The end behavior of a polynomial function is determined by the degree and the sign of the leading coefficient.
Identify the degree of the polynomial and the sign of the leading coefficient

Select the polynomial whose zeros and degree are given by: Zeros: – 5(multiplicity of 3), 9(multiplicity of 2), – 2, 4 Degree: 7

• (x + 5)³(x - 9)²(x + 2)(x - 4)

• (x + 5)³(x - 9)²(x + 2)⁷(x - 4)⁷

• (x + 5)³(x - 9)²(x + 2)

• (x + 5)(x - 9)(x + 2)(x - 4)

Identify the function that belongs to the following graph.

• f(x)=(x+2)(x+3)(x-1)

• f(x)=(x+1)(x-4)(x-2)

• f(x)=(x+2)(x-2)(x+1)

• f(x)=(x-3)(x-2)(x+1)

Remember to look at your roots, multiplicity, and end behavior!! Use your notes!

• y = ^_(x + 2)(x - 1)²

• y = -(x - 2)(x + 1)²

• y = (x - 2)(x + 1)²

• y = -x³
