Question

Find the zeros of the function and state the multiplicities

Answer 1

x = -3/4, x = 0, x = 5

Explanation:

The equation can be rewritten as

`m(x)=x(12x^2-51x-45)`

The roots are found by equating the above to zero:

`x(12x^2-51x-45)=0`

One root we immediately notice is x = 0. The other roots are found using the fact that

`12x^2-51x-45=0`

To solve for x we use the quadratic formula which says for

`ax^2+bx+c=0`

the x is given by
