Question 1086958:  Find the zeros for the polynomial function and give the multiplicity for each zero. State whether the graph crosses the x-axis or touches the x-axis and turns around, at each zero. 
f(x)=( x + 1/4 )^2 (x-1)^5
 
1) 1/4 multiplicity 2, touches the x-axis and turns around;  
-1, multiplicity 5, crosses the x-axis. 
2) -1/4 multiplicity 2, crosses the x-axis;1, multiplicity 5, touches the x-axis and turns around 
3) 1/4 , multiplicity 2, crosses the x-axis;  
-1, multiplicity 5, touches the x-axis and turns around 
4) -1/4 multiplicity 2, touches the x-axis and turns around; 
1, multiplicity 5, crosses the x-axis. 
thank you for help

Find the zeros for the polynomial function and give the multiplicity for each zero. State whether the graph crosses the x-axis 
 or touches the x-axis and turns around, at each zero. 
f(x)=( x + 1/4 )^2 (x-1)^5
 
 
1) 1/4 multiplicity 2, touches the x-axis and turns around; 
   -1, multiplicity 5, crosses the x-axis.                      - WRONG.
2) -1/4 multiplicity 2, crosses the x-axis;
   1, multiplicity 5, touches the x-axis and turns around       - WRONG                                        
3) 1/4 , multiplicity 2, crosses the x-axis; 
   -1, multiplicity 5, touches the x-axis and turns around      - WRONG.
4) -1/4 multiplicity 2, touches the x-axis and turns around;
   1, multiplicity 5, crosses the x-axis.                       - CORRECT.
thank you for help                                              - Happy learning !!
