The polynomila function is,


f(x)=(x+6)^2(x-7)^2(x-5)^3

For the zeros of the function f(x) = 0. So,


(x+6)^2(x-7)^2(x-5)^3=0

So zeros of the function are x = -6, x = 7 and x = 5.

The multiplicity of zero, x = -6 is two as factor (x + 6) is raised with power of 2. Simillarly, multiplicity of zero, x = 7 is 2 and multiplicity of zero x = 5 is 3.

Answer:

Zero(s) of multiplicity one: None

Zero(s) of multuiplicity two: -6,7

Zero(s) of multipicity three: 5
