Answer 1

Student,

 

You posted a similar problem a few lines below, which was answered.  Solve this problem the same way.  I will go ahead and solve it for you, but I suggest you review the solutions, and apply the same method to similar problems.

 

f(x) = (x - 3)²(x + 5)

 

The multiple zero is 3, and its multiplicity is 2.

Answer 2

x=3 is multiple zero with multiplicity 2.
