is given in fully factored form.
The zeros are the values of that make a factor (and hence the product function) zero.
They are:
, with multiplicity ,
because the factor appears with the exponent in the fully factored expression of ,
, with multiplicity ,
because the factor appears with the exponent in the fully factored expression of , and
, with multiplicity ,
because the factor appears with no exponent
(which is the same having as the exponent)
in the fully factored expression of .
