Determine the zeros for a polynomial by factoring

The video tutorial covers the end behavior of polynomial graphs, focusing on even degrees and positive leading coefficients, which result in graphs rising on both ends. It then explains how to find zeros by setting the polynomial equal to zero and solving for x. The tutorial explores factoring techniques, particularly for quadratics, and highlights the significance of perfect square trinomials. Finally, it discusses multiplicity, emphasizing that even multiplicity causes the graph to rebound at the zero.

Explain the concept of multiplicity in relation to polynomial functions.

What does it mean for a graph to rebound at a point with even multiplicity?
