What does it mean if the graph of a function crosses the x-axis?

Back

The zero at that point has an odd multiplicity.

What is the multiplicity of a zero if the graph touches the x-axis but does not cross it?

Back

The multiplicity is even.

What is the multiplicity of a zero if the graph crosses the x-axis?

Back

The multiplicity is odd.

Front

If a polynomial has a zero at x = -4 with multiplicity 3, how does the graph behave at this zero?

Back

The graph will cross the x-axis and have a point of inflection at x = -4.

How do you determine the multiplicity of a zero from a polynomial equation?

Back

The multiplicity is determined by the exponent of the factor corresponding to that zero.
