question 5

Multiple Choice

Find the real zeros of the function, state their multiplicities if it is a number other than 1.
- $f ( x ) = \left( x + \frac { 1 } { 3 } \right) ^ { 2 } ( x - 2 ) ^ { 3 }$

• \(x = 2\), multiplicity: 3
• B) \(x = \frac { 1 } { 3 }\), multiplicity: 2
• \(x = - 2\), multiplicity: 3
• C) \(x = - \frac { 1 } { 3 }\), multiplicity: 2
• \(x = 2\), multiplicity: 2
• D) \(x = \frac { 1 } { 3 }\), multiplicity: 2
• \(x = 2\), multiplicity: 3
