Write ANSWERS ONLY in boxes.

1) Given the function p(x) = x2(x – 2)(x + 3)3

a) List all of the zeros d) [pic]

b) What is the degree of p(x)? e) [pic]

c) Which zero has the largest multiplicity? f) Find the Y intercept.

What is its multiplicity?

2) A polynomial, P(x), of degree 6 has zeros of -2, 1, and 4. The zero 1 has a multiplicity of 4. P(3) = 2.

a) Sketch the graph of a polynomial that matches this description

on the plane to the right.

b) [pic]

c) [pic]

3) A polynomial, P(x), of degree 3 has zeros at 2 and -1. 2 has even multiplicity. P(5) = 432.
