Answer:
yes, if |a|=|b| then a = b......
If we begin with the first term, 2, mult. it by 4 and then subtract 3, we get 5 (not 4, as shown).
If we begin with 4, mult. it by 4 and then subtract 3, we get 13. This agrees with the terms of the given sequence.
If we begin with 13, mult. it by 4 and then subtract 3, we get 49. This agrees with the terms of the given sequence.
Remove the first term, 2, and then the remaining terms follow the given procedure for finding terms.
4 1/3 = 13/3 = 1/3 x 13/1 = 4 1/3

Answer:
the multiplicity is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph shows a root at x = -2 that has a multiplicity of 2. You know the multiplicity is even, because the graph does not cross the x-axis. The multiplicity is 2 because the general shape of the graph in that area matches that of a quadratic (parabola).
The multiplicity of the root at x=4 is also an even number, because the x-axis is not crossed. However, the graph is significantly flatter at that point (than at x=-2), meaning the multiplicity is greater than 2. It is at least 4.
When we draw a graph with a multiplicity of 6 at x=4, we find the ratio of the peaks near x=-4 and x=0 to be different from that shown here. The suggests that the multiplicity of the root at x=4 is exactly 4.
