If a polynomial has a zero of "a" with multilicity b, the factor would be:
[tex](x-a)^b[/tex]So, accordingly the factors would be:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x-6)^2 \\ (x-(-7))^1 \end{gathered}[/tex]They are
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x-6)^2 \\ (x+7) \end{gathered}[/tex]We can write out the polynomial, f(x), as:
[tex]f(x)=(x-6)^2(x+7)[/tex]
