In a polynomial equation, the sum of the multiplicities of the roots always add up to.. the degree of the polynomial. the leading coefficient of the polynomial. the constant coefficient of the polynomial the sum of the coefficients of the polynomial.

the degree of the polynomial

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Polynomial equation

Required

What does the sum of the multiplicities add up to

To answer this question, I'll make use of the following polynomial.

When factorized, the polynomial is:

x-1 can be expressed as

So, we have:

The sum of multiplicity (M) of the equation is 3.

This is so because

occurred one time in

occurred two times in

The degree of or is 3.

This implies that:

Hence: Option (a) answers the question

step-by-step explanation:

through just a quick inspection, one can see that the graph of this cubing function starts in quadrant iii and ends in quadrant i.   when x = 0, y = 3, so the y-intercept is (0, 3).

if graphs are part of the problem statement, share them.   .
