How to find the zeros by factoring as well as label the multiplicity

The video tutorial covers the process of factoring polynomials, starting with identifying common factors and factoring trinomials. It explains how factoring is similar to division and provides examples to illustrate this concept. The tutorial also discusses the concept of multiplicity in factored form and how it affects the graph of a polynomial. Finally, it demonstrates the application of the Zero Product Property to solve equations, emphasizing the importance of checking solutions through multiplication.
