Find the Zeros of the Polynomial Function and State the Multiplicity

question 135

Multiple Choice

Find the zeros of the polynomial function and state the multiplicity of each.
- $$f ( x ) = 5 x ( x + 6 ) \left( x ^ { 2 } - 16 \right) ^ { 2 }$$

• A) 0 (multiplicity 1), \(- 6\) (multiplicity \(1 ), \pm 4\) (multiplicity 1 )
• B) 0 (multiplicity 1), \(- 6\) (multiplicity 1), - 16 (multiplicity 2)
• C) 0 (multiplicity 1), \(- 6\) (multiplicity 1), \(\pm 4\) (multiplicity 2 )
• D) 0 (multiplicity 1), 6 (multiplicity 1), \(\pm 4\) (multiplicity 2)
