<u>ANSWER</u>

The zeros are x=-5,x=0,x=5


EXPLANATION

Given;

f(x)=x^4-25x^2.


We can rewrite the function as


f(x)=x^2(x^2-25)


\Rightarrow f(x)=x^2(x^2-5^2)


\Rightarrow f(x)=x^2(x-5)(x+5)



The zeros are found by equating the function to zero.


\Rightarrow x^2(x-5)(x+5)=0


\Rightarrow (x-5)=0

The multiplicity is 1, since it is odd the graph crosses at this intercept. which is x=5


Or

\Rightarrow (x+5)=0


The multiplicity is 1, since it is odd the graph crosses at this intercept. which is x=-5


Or


\Rightarrow x^2=0


This last root has a multiplicity of 2.

That is

x=0 repeats two times.


Since the multiplicity is even, the graph touches the x-axis at the point x=0.



See graph.
