Analysis (Identifies, interprets, and summarizes the issue or problem) (a) List each zero and describe its behavior. Then use that behavior to determine the multiplicity of each zero. Explain your reasoning for choosing each multiplicity. How to present your answer for each zero: For every zero, include the following four parts: Zero: State the x‑value of the zero. Behavior: Describe whether the graph touches the x‑axis or crosses the x‑axis at that zero. Multiplicity: State the multiplicity based on the graph’s behavior. Reasoning: Explain why the behavior tells you that multiplicity. Example Format: Zero: x = 50 Behavior: touch or cross Multiplicity: (indicate the multiplicity) Reasoning: Explain how the behavior helped you determine the multiplicity.
