question 39

Multiple Choice

Determine the real zeros of the polynomial and their multiplicities. Then decide whether the graph touches or crosses the
x-axis at each zero.

- $$f ( x ) = 3 ( x - 2 ) ( x - 6 ) ^ { 4 }$$

• A)-2, multiplicity 1, touches x-axis; -6, multiplicity 4, crosses x-axis
• B)2, multiplicity 1, touches x-axis; 6, multiplicity 4, crosses x-axis
• C)-2, multiplicity 1, crosses x-axis; -6, multiplicity 4, touches x-axis
• D)2, multiplicity 1, crosses x-axis; 6, multiplicity 4, touches x-axis
