Question 849752
You could make one zero have a multiplicity of 2. So for instance, instead of just having the factor "(x+2)", you could have "(x+2)^2"


Expanding out (x+2)^2(x-1)(x-3) will give you a polynomial of degree 4 that has the roots  -2, 1 and 3. The root -2 will have a multiplicity of 2. The other two roots will have a multiplicity of 1.


Hopefully this helps you in the right direction. If not, then let me know. Thanks.
