Use tables to name the zeros,their multiplicity and the effect of the multiplicity on the graph. The effect of the graph should be bounced or intersects. PLEASE SPELL CORRECTLY

The Solution:

The given function is


f(x)=(x+5)(2x-1)

Finding the zeros of the given function, we have


\begin{gathered} x+5=0\text{ and} \\ 2x-1=0 \end{gathered}

These give us


\begin{gathered} x=-5\text{ or} \\ 2x=1 \\ x=(1)/(2) \\ So,\text{ the zeros of f(x) are -5, and }(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

The Multiplicity of the zero x = -5 is 1 while

The Multiplicity of the zero x = 1/2 is 1 (since they both appeared once)

The Effect of the zero x = -5 is intersect while

The Effect of the zero x = 1/2 is intersect.
