Multiplicity is how many times a root repeats
factor
x(x²-8x+16)
what times wat =16 and adds to -8
-4 and -4
x(x-4)(x-4)
x(x-4)²
set to zero
x=0
x-4=0
x=4
roots are 0 ad 4
4 repeats 2 times, so has a multiplicty of 2
so
roots are 0, and 4 multiplicity 2
The given figure can be divided in two parts 1) Square with side 7 in 2) A right triangle with base 12 in and height 7 in.
1) Area of square = 
Side of the square is 7 in.
Area = 
2) Area of triangle = 
Area of triangle =
Area of polygon= Area of square+ Area of triangle
Area of polygon = 49+42 =91 square in.
Area = 
x/4 = 3/2
x/2 = 3 (multiply both sides by 2)
x = 6 (multiply both sides by 2)
Therefore 6/4 = 3/2
