0 with multiplicity 3, –3 with multiplicity 2, and –2 with multiplicity 1
0 with multiplicity 3, 3 with multiplicity 1, and 6 with multiplicity 1
0 with multiplicity 3, 3 with multiplicity 2, and 2 with multiplicity 1
0 with multiplicity 3, –3 with multiplicity 1, and –6 with multiplicity 1

Answer:

0 with multiplicity 3, 3 with multiplicity 1, and 6 with multiplicity 1.

Factoring and solving a quadratic equation, it is found that the zeroes of the graph are:

0 with multiplicity 3, 3 with multiplicity 1, and 6 with multiplicity 1 .

The function given is:

[tex]f(x) = -x^5 + 9x^4 - 18x^3[/tex]

The zeroes are the values of x for which:

[tex]f(x) = 0[/tex]

[tex]-x^5 + 9x^4 - 18x^3 = 0[/tex]

Factoring by the common term:

[tex]-x^5 + 9x^4 - 18x^3 = -x^3(x^2 - 9x + 18) = 0[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]-x^3 = 0 \rightarrow x = 0[/tex]

0 has a multiplicity of 3.

[tex]x^2 - 9x + 18 = 0[/tex]

Which has coefficients [tex]a = 1, b = -9, c = 18[/tex], thus:

[tex]\Delta = (-9)^{2} - 4(1)(18) = 9[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-(-9) + \sqrt{9}}{2} = 6[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-(-9) - \sqrt{9}}{2} = 3[/tex]  

6 and 3 with multiplicity 1.

Thus, the correct option is:

0 with multiplicity 3, 3 with multiplicity 1, and 6 with multiplicity 1 .
