Question

- 1 (multiplicity 3), 3 (multiplicity 4)

Answer 1

The eleventh-degree polynomial (x + 3)4(x – 2)7 has the same zeroes as did the quadratic, but in this case, the x = –3 solution has multiplicity 4 because the factor (x + 3) occurs four times (that is, the factor is raised to the fourth power) and the x = 2 solution has multiplicity 7 because the factor (x – 2) occurs ... Can you do the rest on your own?

Answer 2

-1,81

Explanation:

Multiplicity of a number can be written as power

for example

-1(multiplicity 3) can be written as

`-1^(3)`= -1

similiarly 3(multiplicity 4) can be written as

`3^(4)`=81
