The multiplicities of the zeros are how many times that factor appeared in the factored form of a polynomial function.

If the multiplicities are even, then they are tangent to the x-axis

So, the graph is tangent to x at -6

If the multiplicities are odd, then they cross while hugging the x-axis.

So, the graph of the function crosses while hugging the X-axis at 1

And the graph crosses through at the values with no multiplicities, which are 0 and 4

So, the answers are:

a) Is tangent to

b) Crosses straight through

C) Crosses through whle hugging

d) Crosses straight through
