For the Polynomial, List Each Real Zero and Its Multiplicity $$f ( x ) = 3 ( x - 6 ) ( x + 7 ) ^ { 3 }$$

question 7

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.
- $$f ( x ) = 3 ( x - 6 ) ( x + 7 ) ^ { 3 }$$

• A) 6 , multiplicity 1 , crosses \(x\)-axis; \(- 7\), multiplicity 3 , crosses \(x\)-axis
• B) \(- 6\), multiplicity 1 , touches \(x\)-axis; 7 , multiplicity 3
• C) \(- 6\), multiplicity 1 , crosses \(x\)-axis; 7 , multiplicity 3 , crosses \(x\)-axis
• D) 6 , multiplicity 1 , touches \(x\)-axis; \(- 7\), multiplicity 3
