Find the real zeros of the function, state their multiplicities if it is a number other than 1.
-$f ( x ) = x ^ { 2 } - 25$
A)x = 5, multiplicity: 2
B) $x = \sqrt { 5 } , x = - \sqrt { 5 }$
C)x = -5, multiplicity: 2
D)x = 5, x = -5

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The function $f(x) = x^2 - 25$ can be factored as $(x - 5)(x + 5)$, giving real zeros at $x = 5$ and $x = -5$, each with multiplicity 1.
