question 320

Multiple Choice

For the polynomial, list each real zero and its multiplicity. Determine whether the graph crosses or touches the x-axis at
each x -intercept.
- $$f ( x ) = 4 ( x - 3 ) ( x + 7 ) ^ { 4 }$$

• A) 3 , multiplicity 1 , crosses \(x\)-axis; \(- 7\), multiplicity 4 , touches \(x\)-axis
• B) \(- 3\), multiplicity 1 , touches \(x\)-axis; 7 , multiplicity 4 , crosses \(x\)-axis
• C) \(- 3\), multiplicity 1 , crosses \(x\)-axis; 7 , multiplicity 4 , touches \(x\)-axis
• D) 3 , multiplicity 1 , touches \(x\)-axis; \(- 7\), multiplicity 4 , crosses \(x\)-axis
