If a zero of a polynomial function has multiplicity 3 that means:

• The x intercept is at (4, 0)

• The graph will "bounce back" at that zero

• The graph will "pass through" at that zero

• Zeros cannot have multiplicity of 4

Which of the following allows you to describe the end behavior of a polynomial?

• the degree and the constant

• the leading coefficient and the constant

• degree and the variable

• the degree and the leading coefficent

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)
