Question 1102159: The question is:
If the function f(x) has the lowest possible degree then the multiplicity of the zero at 1 is____?
I thought the lowest degree would be degree zero so that the function would be a straight horizontal line y=some number. The answer is a multiplicity of 2. I don't understand.
Thanks
