How to Determine the Multiplicity and Zeros of a Polynomial

The video tutorial explains how to find the zeros of a polynomial function and determine their multiplicity. It begins with setting the function to zero and finding the greatest common factor (GCF). The instructor then demonstrates factoring the expression using perfect square trinomials. The zeros are found using the zero product property, and their multiplicity is discussed. The tutorial concludes with an explanation of how the graph behaves at these zeros.
