question 203

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.
- $$f ( x ) = \left( x + \frac { 1 } { 4 } \right) ^ { 4 } ( x + 1 ) ^ { 5 }$$

• A) \(\frac { 1 } { 4 }\), multiplicity 4 , touches \(x\)-axis; 1 , multiplicity 5 , crosses \(x\)-axis
• B) \(\frac { 1 } { 4 }\), multiplicity 4 , crosses \(x\)-axis; 1 , multiplicity 5 , touches \(x\)-axis
• C) \(- \frac { 1 } { 4 }\), multiplicity 4 , touches \(x\)-axis; \(- 1\), multiplicity 5 , crosses \(x\)-axis
• D) \(- \frac { 1 } { 4 }\), multiplicity 4 , crosses \(x\)-axis; \(- 1\), multiplicity 5 , touches \(x\)-axis
