Consider p(x) = x4(x − 2)3(x + 1)2. for each zero, determine if the graph crosses the x-axis. how do you know?

B) The zeros at 0 and −1 do not cross the x-axis because they have even multiplicity. The zero at 2 crosses the x-axis because it has odd multiplicity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplicity of the zero determines whether the graph crosses the x-axis at that zero. If the multiplicity is even, the graph does not cross. If the multiplicity is odd, the graph crosses.

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4
