Factor the Polynomial completely
p(x)= x^5+6x^3+9x
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 =  =    


     ! Notice that x^4 + 6x^2 + 9 =  = .  
       Therefore, you can continue this chain of equalities in this way


=  =


      The only real zero is z= 0.  All other zeroes are complex zeroes.
      So, you can continue in the complex domain


= .


      Now you can see that there is one real zero x= 0 of multiplicity 1,

                                        complex zero x= 3i of multiplicity 2, and

                                        complex zero  x= -3i of multiplicity 2.
