f(x) = 4(x+3)(x-1)³ Answer by lwsshak3(11628) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! For the polynomial below, list each real zero and its multiplicity. Please be sure to show all of your work.
f(x) = 4(x+3)(x-1)³
4(x+3)(x-1)^3=0
4(x+3)(x-1)(x-1)(x-1)=0
x+3=0
x=-3
or
x-1=0
x=1 (multiplicity 3)

note: when a curve flattens out where one of the zeros are, they are multiple roots.
