SUMMARY
The exercise on multiplicity and set of zeros does not require the values $f(a)$ and $f(b)$ to be nonzero. This condition is only applicable to a subsequent exercise that involves the signs of $f(a)$ and $f(b)$, which must be strictly positive or strictly negative for proper interpretation. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for accurately completing the exercises related to function behavior.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of function notation and evaluation
- Knowledge of multiplicity in polynomial functions
- Familiarity with the concept of zeros of functions
- Basic comprehension of sign analysis in mathematics
- Review the concept of multiplicity in polynomial equations
- Study the implications of zeros on function behavior
- Learn about sign analysis techniques for functions
- Explore exercises that differentiate between zero and nonzero function values
Students and educators in mathematics, particularly those focusing on algebra and polynomial functions, will benefit from this discussion.

Hi forever119, and welcome to MHB.
For that exercise, there seems to be no need for $f(a)$ and $f(b)$ to be nonzero. It looks as though that requirement is only needed for the following exercise, which refers to the signs of $f(a)$ and $f(b)$. These need to be strictly positive or strictly negative for that exercise to make sense.
