I don't understand. Please help and show work because I'm really confused about how to find the answers. Thank you!.
First one
3x^3 = 0 implies that the zero = 0
This zero has a multiplicity of 3 (the power on x)
With an odd multiplicity.....the graph goes through the x axis
(x - 1)^2 = 0 implies that the zero = 1
Multiplicity = 2 (same as the exponent)
With an even multiplicity....the graph just touches the x axis
(x - 8) = 0 implies that the zero = 8
The implied exponent is 1....so the multiplicity is 1
Odd multiplicity = goes through the x axis
Second one......using what we know
-x =0 implies the zero = 0
Multiplicity = 1
Goes through the x axis
5x+ 3 = 0
5x = - 3
x = -3/5 this is the zero
Multiplicity = 3 [ the exponent on (5x + 3) ]
Goes through the x axis
x - 2 = 0 implies that the zero = 2
Multiplicity = 8 [ the exponent on ( x - 2) ]
Even multiplicity......just touches the x axis
