Multiplicity is how many times the root (or zero) is repeated

example, in f(x)=a(x-b)^n(x-d)^m... the root b has a multiplicity of n and the root d has a multiplicity of m

first we need to get the roots into f(x)=a(x-b)^n(x-d)^m
for (3x+5), we need to force factor out the 3 to get
3(x+\frac{5/3})

factor the other one
(x^2-6x+9)=(x-3)(x-3)=(x-3)^2
but it is (x^2-6x+9)^2 which is equivilent to ((x-3)^2)^2 which simplifies to (x-3)^4

so we get
f(x)=3(x+\frac{5}{3})(x-3)^4
so the roots are -5/3 multiplicity 1 and 3 multiplicity 4


3 has a multilicity of 4

Which equation could generate the curve in the graph below?y=3x^2-2x+1
4vir4ik [10]
If you are asking what is the graph of y = 3x^2 -2x+1.

Then, the attached file would be the answer.

To check, b^2 - 4(a)(c), for each equation and use these facts:

If b^2 - 4(a)(c) = 0, there is only one real root meaning, the graph touches the x-axis only in one point.

If b^2 - 4ac > 0, there are two real roots meaning, the graph touches the x-axis in two different points.

If b2 - 4ac < 0, there are no real roots then the graph does not touch the x-axis. This would be the case for y = 3x^2 - 2x + 1.
Solution:
(-2)^2 -4(3)(1) = 4 - 12 = -8 < 0 will result in not real roots.

True or​ false: when comparing two​ populations, the larger the standard​ deviation, the more dispersion the distribution​ has,
SOVA2 [1]

True, because the standard deviation describes how​ far, on​ average, each observation is from the typical value. A larger standard deviation means that observations are more distant from the typical​ value, and​ therefore, more dispersed.

PLEASE HELP!!! 40 points!!! 1) A school puts on a play. The play costs $1,200.00 in expenses. The students charge $4.00 for tick
Xelga [282]
Since it costs 1200, we subtract 1200 from the start. In addition, the money totaled is 4*x, where x is the amount of tickets sold. Since there are a minimum of 0 tickets able to be sold and a maximum of 500 tickets since there are 500 seats, the answer is D
