question 2

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.

• A)4, multiplicity 1, crosses x-axis; 6, multiplicity 3, crosses x-axis
• B)-4, multiplicity 1, crosses x-axis; -6, multiplicity 3, crosses x-axis
• C)-4, multiplicity 1, touches x-axis; -6, multiplicity 3
• D)4, multiplicity 1, touches x-axis; 6, multiplicity 3
