Step-by-step explanation:
it seems the answer is four (option a)
Answer:
Two double roots in this case.
I could say 4, but you have a pair of double roots x = 6 and x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 6 is a double root of f(x)
x = -2 is a double root of f(x)
∛(1/8 - <em>x</em>) = -1/2
Take the 3rd power of both sides and solve:
(∛(1/8 - <em>x</em>))³ = (-1/2)³
1/8 - <em>x</em> = -1/8
2/8 = <em>x</em>
<em>x</em> = 1/4
