Answer:
The polynomial function
To determine the multiplicity of 0, -2, -4, 5.
The multiplicity of a root is the number of times the root appears.
First find the root of the equation, set the function equals to zero.
therefore, the root of this function are, x=0,-2, -4, 5
To find the multiplicity of the roots:
A factor of x would have a root at x=0 with multiplicity of 1
similarly, x=-2 with multiplicity of 3
x=-4 with multiplicity of 2
x=5 with multiplicity of 4.

Answer:
The correct options are;
1) ΔBCD is similar to ΔBSR
2) BR/RD = BS/SC
3) (BR)(SC) = (RD)(BS)
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Given that RS is parallel to DC, we have;
∠BDC = ∠BRS (Angles on the same side of transversal)
Similarly;
∠BCD = ∠BSR (Angles on the same side of transversal)
∠CBD = ∠CBD = (Reflexive property)
Therefore;
ΔBCD ~ ΔBSR Angle, Angle Angle (AAA) rule of congruency
2) Whereby ΔBCD ~ ΔBSR, we therefore have;
BC/BS = BD/BR → (BS + SC)/BS = (BR + RD)/BR = 1 + SC/BS = RD/BR + 1
1 + SC/BS = 1 + RD/BR = SC/BS = 1 + BR/RD - 1
SC/BS = RD/BR
Inverting both sides
BR/RD = BS/SC
3) From BR/RD = BS/SC the above we have by cross multiplication;
BR/RD = BS/SC gives;
BR × SC = RD × BR → (BR)(SC) = (RD)(BR).
