Find the Zeros for the Polynomial Function and Give the Multiplicity

question 218

Multiple Choice

Find the zeros for the polynomial function and give the multiplicity for each zero. State whether the graph crosses the
x-axis or touches the x-axis and turns around, at each zero.
- $f ( x ) = \left( x + \frac { 1 } { 5 } \right) ^ { 4 } ( x - 9 ) ^ { 3 }$

• A) \(\frac { 1 } { 5 }\), multiplicity 4 , crosses the \(x\)-axis;
• \(- 9\), multiplicity 3 , touches the \(x\)-axis and turns around
• B) \(- \frac { 1 } { 5 }\), multiplicity 4 , crosses the \(x\)-axis;
• 9, multiplicity 3 , touches the \(x\)-axis and turns around
• C) \(- \frac { 1 } { 5 }\), multiplicity 4 , touches the \(x\)-axis and turns around; 9 , multiplicity 3 , crosses the \(x\)-axis.
• D) \(\frac { 1 } { 5 }\), multiplicity 4 , touches the \(x\)-axis and turns around; \(- 9\), multiplicity 3 , crosses the \(x\)-axis.

Definitions:

Multiple Alleles

Inheritance pattern in which there are more than two alleles for a particular trait; each individual has only two of all possible alleles.

HERC2

A gene associated with the regulation of several proteins, notably impacting pigmentation and neurological functions.

Epistatic Interactions

Genetic interactions where the effect of one gene is modified by one or several other genes, which can mask or suppress the expression of the first gene.

OCA2

OCA2 refers to a gene related to pigmentation in humans, mutations of which can lead to type 2 albinism.
