(x + 3) (x + 1) ² (2x-5) = 0
x = -3 x² = -1 2x = 5 x= 5/2 or 2 1/2
d. multiplicity of roots
f(x) = = (x+3)(x + 1) ²³ (24-5)
x=-3 x ²³²= -1 X = 2 ½ (fr. letter c)
-3-1 multiplicity of 2, 2 ½
-(x+3) has odd multiplicity, the graph will cross the taxis
(x+1) has even multiplicity, the graph tangent to t-axis (2x-5) has old
multiplicity, the graph will cross the t-axis.
e. y-intercepts
f(x) = -(x+3)(x+1)^(2x-5)
y=(3) (1) ² (6-5)
4=-3 (1)(-5)
y=-3 (-5)
y = -(0+3) (0+1)² (260)-5)
y = 15 (0.15)
x -3 -1 2 1/2 0 -2
y 0 0 0 15 9
f (x) = (x + 3) (x + 1) ² (2x-5)
y = -(- 2+ 3) (-2 + 1) ² (2 (-2) -5)
y²= - (1) (- 1) (- 4-5)
y = -1(1)(-9)
y = -1(-9)
y=9
2.) f(x) = (x + 1)² (x + 1)
a. Standard form
f(x) = (x+1)²(x+1)
= (x²+2x+1)(x+1)
= x² + x² + 2x² + 2x + x + 1
= x³ + 3x² + 3x +1
b. Leading term
f(x) = (x+1)²(x+₁)
x³ + 3x² + 3x + 1 (fr. letter. A)
leading term = x³
c. x-intercepts
f(x) = (x+1)²(x+1)
y = (x+1)²(x+1)
(x+1) ²³ (x+1) = 0
x²=-1 x=-1
(-1,0)
d. multiplicity of roots
f(x) = (x + 1)² (x+1)
y² = -1 x=-1 (fr. letter c)
\/
-1 multiplicity of 3.
The polynomial (x+1)² (x+1) has add multiplicity, the graph will
cross the x-axis
e. y- intercepts y = 1 (0,1)
f(1) = (x + 1)² (x+1)
y = (x+1) ² (x+1)
y = (0+1)² (0+1)
y = (1)² (1)
y = 1 (1)
y = 1 (1)
y = 1 (0,1)
x -1 0 1 -2 -3
y 0 1 8 -1 -8
f(x) = (x+1)² (x+1)
1. y = (1+1)² (1+1)
= (2)² (2)
= 4 (2)
y=8
2. y = (-2+1)² (-2+1)
= (-1)² (-1)
= 1 (-1)
y = -1
3. y = (-3+1)² (-3+1)
= (-2)² (-2)
= 4 (-2)
y = -8
3. f(x) = x³ -6x²-x+6
a.Standard form
f(x) = x²³ - 6x²-x+6
its already in standard form
c. x-intercepts
f(x)=x³-6x²-x+6
y = x² - 6x² x+6
x³-6x²-x+6=0
x²(x-6)-1(x-6)=0
(x-6) (x²-1) = 0
x = 6 x=-1 (6₁0) ( -1,0)(1,0)
x=1
d. multiplicity of roots
f(x) = x³-6x² - x + 6
