Answer:

Even multiplicity at x = -4

Explanation:

If the graph of a function crosses x-axis then the multiplicity of the function at that zero will be odd.

If the graph touches the x-axis at a point then the function will have an even multiplicity at the particular zero.

From the given graph graph touches the x-axis at x = -4

Therefore, multiplicity of the function is even at x = -4
