3. find all the zeroes of the polynomial x4 + 2x3 - 8x2 - 18x - 9, if two of its zeroes are 3
and -3.

x = 3, x = - 3, x = - 1 with multiplicity 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that x = 3 and x = - 3 are zeros then

(x - 3) and (x + 3) are factors and

(x - 3)(x + 3) = x² - 9 ← is a factor

Using long division to divide the polynomial by x² - 9 gives

quotient = x² + 2x + 1 = (x + 1)² and equating to zero

(x + 1)² = 0 ⇒ x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1 with multiplicity 2

Hence the zeros of the polynomial are

x = 3, x = - 3, x = - 1 with multiplicity 2

when studying polynomials, you often hear the terms zeros, roots, factors and x x the multiplicity of a zero is important because it tells us how the graph of the let's look at the graph of a function that has the same zeros

step-by-step explanation:

the correct answer is 5 6 and 7
