To identify the multiplicities of the linear factors of the polynomial \( h(x)=(x+4)(x−1)^2(x+3)^5 \), we look at the powers of each factor.
- The factor \( (x+4) \) has an exponent of 1, so its multiplicity is 1.
- The factor \( (x−1)^2 \) has an exponent of 2, so its multiplicity is 2.
- The factor \( (x+3)^5 \) has an exponent of 5, so its multiplicity is 5.
Thus, the multiplicities are:
- The multiplicity of \( (x+4) \) is 1.
- The multiplicity of \( (x−1) \) is 2.
- The multiplicity of \( (x+3) \) is 5.
The correct response is: The multiplicity of \( (x+4) \) is 1, the multiplicity of \( (x−1) \) is 2, and the multiplicity of \( (x+3) \) is 5.
