(x+4) (x-2)^3 (x^2+2x-8)

would it be -4 multiplicity of 2
and 2 multiplicity of 4?
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
Yes, that's correct since the quadratic factor is the product of the other two linear factors.
 
in other words,
(x+ 4)(x- 2)^3(x^2- 2x- 8)= (x+ 4)(x- 2)^3(x- 2)(x+ 4)= (x+ 4)^2(x- 2)^4
as I am sure you realized.
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
