Question

14
given the polynomial function $x^3(x - 2)^2(x + 1)$ match each zero with its multiplicity
0
2
-1
drag & drop the answer
3
2
1

Explanation:

Step1: Identify zero from $x^3$

The zero is $x=0$, exponent is 3.
Multiplicity = 3

Step2: Identify zero from $(x-2)^2$

The zero is $x=2$, exponent is 2.
Multiplicity = 2

Step3: Identify zero from $(x+1)$

Rewrite as $(x-(-1))$, zero is $x=-1$, exponent is 1.
Multiplicity = 1

Answer:

0 → 3
2 → 2
-1 → 1
