Question

When an equation is factored and the factored form results are in a binomial squared, will it ever have two different zeros? Explain why or why not

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

If we have

(x - 3)² = 0, then

x - 3 = 0 or x- 3 = 0, leading to x = 3 of multiplicity 2

that is the solution has 2 equal roots indicating a turning point at x = 3
