I don't really understand this.
Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If your equation has the form
etc.
then ,, etc. are the zeroes
The multiplicity is the number of times a zero is repeated,
for instance:
etc.
Zero has a multiplicity of , since it's
repeated times
In your equation:
, I can factor it some more:

The zeroes are multiplicity of
and multiplicity of also
