question 390

Multiple Choice

Find the zeros of the polynomial function and state the multiplicity of each.
- $$f ( x ) = \left( x ^ { 2 } + x - 12 \right) ^ { 7 } ( x - 4 + \sqrt { 7 } ) ^ { 2 }$$

• A) \(- 4 , - 3\) (multiplicity 7), \(- 4 - \sqrt { 7 }\) (multiplicity 2)
• B) \(4 , - 3\) (multiplicity 7 ), \(4 - \sqrt { 7 }\) (multiplicity 2)
• C) \(- 4,3\) (multiplicity 7 ), \(4 + \sqrt { 7 }\) (multiplicity 2)
• D) \(- 4,3\) (multiplicity 7), \(4 - \sqrt { 7 }\) (multiplicity 2)
