Determine the x- intercepts of the graph of p(x) = (x + 8)^2 (x - 12) (x - 10).
\n" ); document.write( "For each x-intercept, determine whether the graph of p crosses the x-axis or
\n" ); document.write( "intersects but does not cross the x-axis.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "For x-intercepts let y=0:
\n" ); document.write( "You have x-intercepts at:
\n" ); document.write( "x=-8; multiplicity 2; touches but does not cross x axis
\n" ); document.write( "x=12: multiplicity 1; crosses the x axis
\n" ); document.write( "x=10: multiplicity 1: crosses the x axis
