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

Find the roots of the polynomial functionf(x) = x3 + 2x2 + x

Answer
A
x = 0, x = –1
B
x = 0, x = 1 with multiplicity 2
C
x = 0, x = –1 with multiplicity 2

Explanation

Factor the polynomial: f(x) = x(x² + 2x + 1) = x(x + 1)². Setting each factor equal to zero gives x = 0 and x = −1, with −1 occurring twice, so the correct choice is x = 0 and x = −1 with multiplicity 2.
