Answer 2

Answer:

A. -1, multiplicity 1; 0, multiplicity 1; 3, multiplicity 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $f(x) = -x^{3}+2\cdot x^{2} + 3\cdot x$, to determine its roots and multiplicities we proceed to factorize the polynomial:

1) $-x^{3}+2\cdot x^{2} +3\cdot x$ Given

2) $x\cdot (-x^{2}+2\cdot x + 3)$ Distributive property

3) $x\cdot (x-3)\cdot (x+1)$ Quadratic formula/Result

The roots and multiplicities of $f(x) = -x^{3}+2\cdot x^{2} + 3\cdot x$ are:

0 (multiplicity 1)

3 (multiplicity 1)

-1 (multiplicity 1)

Therefore, the correct answer is A.
