complex zeros and multiplicity

complex roots come in pairs


if a + bi is a root
,
then a-bi is also a root

if there is a double root (they are equal) ,


there is in multiplicity
example given : root 2 multiplicity 3 # of times it
repeats
we can State that (X-23 is part of the polynomial
multiplicity 1 >
- simple zeros

if multiplicity is even : if multiplicity is odd :

the graph will bounce the graph will cross
