Find the zeros of the function. state the multiplicity of any multiple zeros. y = (x-5)(x+2)^2

Hi,

Pretty simple: if a result of a multiplication is equal to 0, then each factor is equal to 0.

y = f(x) = (x -- 5)(x + 2)² = 0, so:

x₁ -- 5 = 0 ⇒ x₁ = 5.

(x + 2)² = 0 ⇒ x₂ = x₃ = --2, for --2 we have state of multiplicity = 2.

dilation scale factor 2: starting with δabc, draw the dilation image of the triangle with a center at the origin and a scale factor of two. notice that every coordinate of the original triangle has been multiplied by the scale factor (x2). dilation with scale factor 2, multiply by 2.
