There is a multiple zero at 0 (which means that it touches there), and there are single zeros at -2 and 2 (which means that they cross). There is also 2 imaginary zeros at i and -i.
You can find this by factoring. Start by pulling out the greatest common factor, which in this case is -x^2.
-x^6 + 3x^4 + 4x^2
-x^2(x^4 - 3x^2 - 4)
Now we can factor the inside of the parenthesis. You do this by finding factors of the last number that add up to the middle number.
-x^2(x^4 - 3x^2 - 4)
-x^2(x^2 - 4)(x^2 + 1)
Now we can use the factors of two perfect squares rule to factor the middle parenthesis.
-x^2(x^2 - 4)(x^2 + 1)
-x^2(x - 2)(x + 2)(x^2 + 1)
We would also want to split the term in the front.
-x^2(x - 2)(x + 2)(x^2 + 1)
(x)(-x)(x - 2)(x + 2)(x^2 + 1)
Now we would set each portion equal to 0 and solve.
First root
x = 0 ---> no work needed
Second root
-x = 0 ---> divide by -1
x = 0
Third root
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
Forth root
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
Fifth and Sixth roots
x^2 + 1 = 0
x^2 = -1
x = +/- 
x = +/- i
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Area => 7.5 x 2 = 15 m² (Choice B)
2. Area => 5 x 11 = 55 in² (Choice B)
3. Area = (12 x 18) * 0.5 = 108 cm² (Choice A)
4. Triangular Pyramid (Choice D)
6. Area of Rectangle => 12 x 9 = 108
Area of Triangle => 7x6 = 42
Sum of Area => 150
7. Surface Area => (4x4)x6 = 96 in² (Choice D)
8. Volume = 3x15x14 = 630 in³ (Choice D)
There are 15 pencils altogether. Of these, 4 are green. Thus, P(green) = 4/15.
3+6
There are 3 red and 6 blue pencils. Thus, P(red or blue) = --------- = 3/5

*assume the pool is empty at the beginning
a) plug 3.25 into the equation and solve
h(3.25) = 600*3.25 = 1950 gallons
b) after 3.25 hours the total amount of water will be 1950 gallons
