Determine the Real Zeros of the Polynomial and Their Multiplicities $$f ( x ) = 5 ( x - 4 ) ( x - 6 ) ^ { 3 }$$

Multiple Choice

Determine the real zeros of the polynomial and their multiplicities. Then decide whether the graph touches or crosses the
x-axis at each zero.

- $$f ( x ) = 5 ( x - 4 ) ( x - 6 ) ^ { 3 }$$

A) 4, multiplicity 1, crosses x-axis; 6, multiplicity 3, crosses x-axis
B) -4, multiplicity 1, crosses x-axis; -6, multiplicity 3, crosses x-axis
C) -4, multiplicity 1, touches x-axis; -6, multiplicity 3
D) 4, multiplicity 1, touches x-axis; 6, multiplicity 3
