The quadratic equation x2 + 2x -- 8 = 0 can be rewritten as (x + 4)(x - 2) = 0.
what is the multiplicity of the root x = --4?

multiplicity of 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the roots of an equation are

x = - 4 ← multiplicity 1

(x + 4)² = 0

x + 4 = 0 or x + 4 = 0 , hence

x = - 4 or x = - 4 , that is

x = - 4 ← with multiplicity 2

(x + 4)³ = 0

has roots x = - 4 with multiplicity 3

The multiplicity is determined by the exponent the factor is raised to

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.
