Multiplicity. How many times a particular number is a zero for a given polynomial. For example, in the polynomial function f(x) = (x – 3) 4 (x – 5)(x – 8) 2, the zero 3 has multiplicity 4, 5 has multiplicity 1, and 8 has multiplicity 2. Although this polynomial has only three zeros, we say that it has seven zeros counting multiplicity.

In mathematics, the multiplicity of a member of a multiset is the number of times it appears in the multiset. For example, the number of times a given polynomial has a root at a given point is the multiplicity of that root.
Aug 22, 2024 · The word multiplicity is a general term meaning "the number of values for which a given condition holds." For example, the term is used to refer to the value of the totient valence function or the number of times a given polynomial equation has a root at a given point.
The number of times a given factor appears in the factored form of the equation of a polynomial is called the multiplicity. The zero associated with this factor, [latex]x=2[/latex], has multiplicity 2 because the factor [latex]\left(x - 2\right)[/latex] occurs twice.

Demonstrates how to recognize the multiplicity of a zero from the graph of its polynomial. Explains how graphs just "kiss" the x-axis where zeroes have even multiplicities.
