Find the Zeros for the Polynomial Function and Give the Multiplicity

question 2

Multiple Choice

Find the zeros for the polynomial function and give the multiplicity for each zero. State whether the graph crosses
the x-axis or touches the x-axis and turns around, at each zero.
- $$f ( x ) = 3 ( x + 1 ) ( x + 7 ) ^ { 2 }$$

• A) \(- 1\), multiplicity 1 , crosses \(x\)-axis; \(- 7\), multiplicity 2 , touches \(x\)-axis and turns around
• B) 1 , multiplicity 1 , crosses \(x\)-axis; 7 , multiplicity 2 , touches \(x\)-axis and turns around
• C) \(- 1\), multiplicity 1 , touches \(x\)-axis and turns around; \(- 7\), multiplicity 2 , crosses \(x\)-axis
• D) 1 , multiplicity 1 , touches \(x\)-axis and turns around; 7 , multiplicity 2 , crosses \(x\)-axis
