question 48

Multiple Choice

- $$f ( x ) = 4 ( x + 8 ) ^ { 2 } ( x - 8 ) ^ { 3 }$$

• A) 4 (multiplicity 1), 8 (multiplicity 1), \(- 8\) (multiplicity 1 )
• B) \(- 8\) (multiplicity 3), 8 (multiplicity 2)
• C) 4 (multiplicity 1), \(- 8\) (multiplicity 3), 8 (multiplicity 3 )
• D) \(- 8\) (multiplicity 2), 8 (multiplicity 3 )
