How to Find the Multiplicity from a Set of Polynomial Factors

The video tutorial explains how to find zeros of a polynomial and determine their multiplicity. It begins with an introduction to zeros and the zero product property, followed by solving polynomial equations using inverse operations. The concept of multiplicity is introduced, explaining how it affects the graph of a polynomial. The tutorial concludes with a discussion on the significance of even and odd multiplicities in graph behavior.
