Question
Find the zeros of the polynomial function and state the multiplicity of each zero.$$P(x)=(x+4)^{3}(x-1)^{2}$$
Step 1
This is because of the zero product property, which states that if a product of factors equals zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero. So we have: $$(x+4)^{3}=0$$ $$(x-1)^{2}=0$$ Show more…
