The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra

Question 7 • [INMT3] Integrated Math 3 Sem 1 (26-27)

Find the root(s) of f (x) = (x- 6)2(x + 2)2.

Answer
A
-6 with multiplicity 1
B
-6 with multiplicity 2
C
6 with multiplicity 1
D
6 with multiplicity 2
E
-2 with multiplicity 1
F
-2 with multiplicity 2
G
2 with multiplicity 1
H
2 with multiplicity 2

Explanation

Set each factor equal to zero: (x − 6)² = 0 gives x = 6, and (x + 2)² = 0 gives x = −2. Each factor is squared, so both roots have multiplicity 2: 6 with multiplicity 2 and −2 with multiplicity 2.
