Question

What is the possible degree of a polynomial if it has a root of -3 with multiplicity of 2 and, a root of 4 with a multiplicity of 1?

Answer 1

Answer:

3rd degree

Step-by-step explanation:

factors are

a(x + 3)(x + 3)(x - 4)

polynomial is

a(x² + 6x + 9)(x - 4)

a(x³ + 2x² - 15x - 36)

where (a) could be any real number
