question 47

Multiple Choice

Find all real zeros of the polynomial $f ( x ) = x ^ { 3 } + 3 x ^ { 2 } - 36 x - 108$ and determine the multiplicity of each.

• A) \(x = 6 , \text { multiplicity } 2 ; x = - 3 \text {, multiplicity } 1\)
• B) \(x = 6 \text {, multiplicity } 1 ; x = - 6 \text {, multiplicity } 1 ; x = - 3 \text {, multiplicity } 1\)
• C) \(x = - 3 \text {, multiplicity } 2 ; x = - 6 \text {, multiplicity } 1\)
• D) \(x = - 6 \text {, multiplicity } 1 ; x = 3 \text {, multiplicity } 1 ; x = - 3 \text {, multiplicity } 1\)
• E) \(x = - 3 \text {, multiplicity } 3\)
