What is the multiplicity of a zero?

The video tutorial explains the concept of zeros in a graph, focusing on how they relate to X intercepts. It covers the process of factoring polynomials to find zeros and introduces the concept of multiplicity, explaining how it affects whether a graph touches or crosses the X-axis. The tutorial also discusses graph behavior based on even and odd multiplicities, providing examples and clarifying the impact of these factors on the graph's shape.

What happens to the graph at an X intercept when the multiplicity is odd versus when it is even?
