Factoring the cubic you get: <span>(x - 2)^2 (x-4) , so we know the multiplicity is the amount of times a root shows in an equation because the equation (x-2) has a exponent of 2 that means the root 2 has a multiplicity of 2.</span>

The non-rounded sum is 15.579, so you’d round up to 16 since 5 and up rounds up. Hope this helps<3

PLEASE HELP 2O POINTS

C. The first is a solution, but the second is not.

5x - y/3 = 13 ; (2,-9)
substitute the letters:
5(2) - (-9/3) = 13 
10 - (-3) = 13 : note that deducting a number with a negative sign turns both sign as positive.
10 + 3 = 13 ;
13 = 13

5x - y/3 = 13 ; (3,-6)
5(3) - (-6/3) = 13
15 - (-2) = 13
15 + 2 = 13
17 = 13 not equal. not a solution

hope i could help
