Multiplicity is the number of times a zero of a polynomial function appears. Learn how to find the multiplicity of a zero and see examples of polynomials with different multiplicities.
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.

- I've been thinking about this for a while and here's what I've come up with. Let's say, for example, that f(x) = ( x - 4 ) ( x - 1 )^2. ( x - 4 ) i...
- There is no imaginary root. Sometimes, roots turn out to be the same (see discussion above on "Zeroes & Multiplicity"). That is what is happening i...
- The question asks about the multiplicity of the root, not whether the root itself is odd or even. At a root of odd multiplicity, the graph will cro...

- You don't have to know this to solve the problem. You can find the correct answer just by thinking about the zeros, and how the graph behaves aroun...
- You have a function with infinite solutions. It can be solved by using any input value for "x" and calculating "y". What where you asked to find? I...
- A polynomial doesn't have a multiplicity, only its roots do. The roots of your polynomial are 1 and -2. 1 has multiplicity 3, and -2 has multiplici...
- So first you need the degree of the polynomial, or in other words the highest power a variable has. So if the leading term has an x^4 that means at...
- Linear equations are degree 1 (the exponent on the variable = 1). This same terminology is being used for the factor. It is a linear factor because...

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.
Aug 22, 2024 · Multiplicity is the number of times a function has a root or a value of a function. Learn how to calculate the multiplicity of a root of a function using its power series and see examples from calculus and analysis.
