Determine the total number of roots of each polynomial function using the factored form. f (x) = (x + 5)3(x - 9)(x + 1)

Answer is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay hun so let me tell u what's up here

They give us this equation and ask for the 'roots'

(x+5)^3(x-9)(x+1)

Now lemme tell you the roots of this one

-5, 9, -1

you get this from making each of them 0

The answer to this would be "3" because there are 3 roots, buT wait theRe'S mOre

(x+5) goes 3 times

So thy must recount it

-5, -5, -5, 9, -1 <-- These are the roots

that's 5 roots in total

also I did this on edgen, got it right with 5

i think the answer would be c
