Learn how and why multiplicity of a zero make sense

The video tutorial explains the concept of multiplicity in algebra, particularly in the context of quadratic equations. It demonstrates how to solve quadratic equations to find zeros and discusses the significance of multiplicity when factors are repeated. The tutorial also covers the graphical interpretation of multiplicity, showing how it affects the graph of a function, specifically how the graph 'bounces' at the x-intercept. The session concludes with a recap of the key points discussed.
