question 497

Multiple Choice

Find the zeros of the polynomial function and state the multiplicity of each.
- $$f ( x ) = ( 3 x - 2 ) ^ { 3 } \left( x ^ { 2 } + 16 \right) ^ { 2 }$$

• A) \(\frac { 4 } { 3 }\) (multiplicity 3 \() , \pm 4\) i (multiplicity 2 )
• B) \(\frac { 2 } { 3 }\) (multiplicity 3), \(\pm 4\) i (multiplicity 2 )
• C) \(- \frac { 2 } { 3 }\) (multiplicity 3 \() , \pm 4\) i (multiplicity 2 )
• D) \(\frac { 2 } { 3 }\) (multiplicity 3 ), \(\pm 4\) (multiplicity 2 )
