Concept explainers
To find:The multiplicity (even or odd) of repeated zero of polynomialfunction
Answer to Problem 8E
The repeated zero of the polynomial function
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
The graph of polynomial function
Concept used:
For a polynomial function
If k is odd, then the graph crossesthe x-axis at
If k is even, then the graphtouchesthe x-axis (but does not cross thex-axis) at
From the graph, since in interval
Conclusion:
The repeated zero of the polynomial function
