Multiple Choice

Find all real zeros of the polynomial $f ( x ) = x ^ { 4 } - 61 x ^ { 2 } + 900$ and determine the multiplicity of each.

• A) \(x = - 5 , \text { multiplicity } 2 ; x = - 6 , \text { multiplicity } 2\)
• B) \(x = 25 , \text { multiplicity } 2 ; x = 36 \text {, multiplicity } 2\)
• C) \(x = 5 , \text { multiplicity } 2 ; x = 6 , \text { multiplicity } 2\)
• D) \(x = 25 , \text { multiplicity } 2 ; x = 6 , \text { multiplicity } 2\)
• E) \(x = 5 \text {, multiplicity } 1 ; x = - 5 \text {, multiplicity } 1 ; x = 6 \text {, multiplicity } 1 ; x = - 6 \text {, multiplicity } 1\)
