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>

A projectile is launched upward from a height of 704 feet with an initial velocity of 112 ft/s. The equation gives the height h

Feliz [49]

We are given the data ho equal to 704 feet and vo equal to 112 feet per second. We apply then kinematics equation: h = ho + vot - 1/2 gt2. Substituting to the given equation,
h = 704 + 112t - 1/2 * 32*t2when h is equal to zero,0 = 704 + 112t - 1/2 * 32*t2t is equal to 11 seconds
