It has a graph but i cant paste it on here, could you guide me through plz
Which is a root of f(x) = 0 with a multiplicity of 2?
-4
-3
3
4
i believe it could be A or C, i'm not sure though :(
the graph of a function which has a root of multiplicity 2 is tangent to the x-axis there, rather than crossing it.
So, pick the choice which reflects the fact that f(x) is tangent to the x-axis at (0,0)
NO IDEA! I cannot see the graph! I expect you can decide whether or not it is tangent there.
ok, i got it right!
To determine the root of the function f(x) = 0 with a multiplicity of 2, you can look at the graph of the function.
If you have a graph of the function, identifying the roots becomes relatively easy. The roots correspond to the x-values where the function intersects the x-axis. In this case, we are looking for a root that appears twice, indicating a multiplicity of 2.
If you are unable to paste the graph here, you can visually analyze the graph yourself. Look for any points where the graph of the function crosses or touches the x-axis more than once. These points represent the roots with a multiplicity greater than 1.
From the given answer choices, it seems you are looking to identify which of the numbers -4, -3, 3, and 4 are roots of the function f(x) = 0 with a multiplicity of 2.
If you cannot access the graph, you can apply the quadratic formula or factor the polynomial equation to find the roots of the function. The roots with a multiplicity of 2 will have two solutions, whereas the other roots will have only one solution.
