Answer:
x = - 3 with multiplicity 2
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = (x - 3)(x + 3)(x + 3) = (x - 3)(x + 3)²
Equating each factor to zero and solving for x
x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3 with multiplicity 1
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = -3
Thus x = - 3 has multiplicity of 2
The fact that the factor is squared gives the multiplicity
(x + 3)³ has root - 3 of multiplicity 3
I have no idea what this means im in 6th grade
