question 140

Multiple Choice

Find the zeros of the polynomial function and state the multiplicity of each.
- $5 x ( x + 6 ) \left( x ^ { 2 } - 16 \right) ^ { 3 }$

• A) 0 (multiplicity \(1 ), - 6\) (multiplicity \(1 ), \pm 4\) (multiplicity 1 )
• B) 0 (multiplicity 1), \(- 6\) (multiplicity 1 ), \(- 16\) (multiplicity 3 )
• C) 0 (multiplicity 1), 6 (multiplicity 1), \(\pm 4\) (multiplicity 3)
• D) 0 (multiplicity 1 ), \(- 6\) (multiplicity \(1 ), \pm 4\) (multiplicity 3 )
