The answer is 4 1/2 or 4.5
I did the PEMDAS method (P= parentheses, E= exponents, M= multiplication, D = Division, A= addition, S = subtraction.)
First I did what’s inside the parentheses, (6x2) and got 12.
Then I divided 16 by 22 and received 0.72.
I added 0.72 with 12 and the result was 12.72.
Last step was to subtract 12.72 - 8 and that equals 4.72
Answer:
The graph cuts the x-axis at odd multiplicities.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let

Then x-a has multiplicity n.
This determines whether, the x-intercept x=a cuts the x-axis or just touches it.
If n is even, the graph of p(x) just touches or becomes a tangent to the x-axis.
If n is odd , the graph cuts the x-axis.
The answer would be B. 3x^2 + 12x
