Answer:

The answer to this question can be described as follows:

-5 with multiplicity 3

9 with multiplicity 2

-1 with multiplicity 1

Explanation:

Given:


\Rightarrow f (x) = (x + 5)^3(x - 9)^2(x + 1)

Solve the above equation:


\Rightarrow f (x) = (x + 5)(x + 5)(x + 5)(x - 9)(x - 9)(x + 1)\\

The roots of the polynomial are as follows:


\Rightarrow (x-x_1)(x-x_2)(x-x_3)......(x-x_n)\\\\\Rightarrow x_1,x_2,x_3.........x_n

That's why the roots are:

5 with multiplicity 3

9 with multiplicity 2

-1 with multiplicity 1
