Pre-Calculus - Polynomials

What does multiplicity of a zero mean?

• Look at the number of terms
• How many times the zero repeats
• Find the sum of all the coefficients
• Ratio your x and y

The largest exponent determines the degree of the polynomial.

• True
• False

What are the zeros of the polynomial and state their multiplicity at each.
y = (x - 5)(x + 2)²

• x = 5 multi 1,  x = 2 multi 2
• x = -5 multi 2, x = -2 multi 1
• x = 5 multi 1, x = -2 multi 2
• x = 5 multi 2, x = -2 multi 1

What is the equation in factored form of this graph?

• f(x) = (x-4)(x-1)²(x+2)(x+4)
• f(x) = (x-4)(x+1)²(x+2)(x+4)
• f(x) = (x-4)(x-1)²(x-2)(x+4)
• f(x) = (x+4)(x+1)²(x-2)(x-4)

Which equation could represent the graph?

• y=-(x+1)(x-2)(x-4)
• y=(x+1)²(x-3)(x-1)³
• y = 3x³ – 2x + 1
• y=(x+1)³(x-3)(x-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)
