Answer:
This expression contains a one root (x= -10) of multiplicity 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that this polynomial is given in factor form, since it is equivalent to 9 products of the same factor (x+10):
[tex](x+10)^9=(x+10)\,(x+10)\,(x+10)\,(x+10)\,(x+10)\,(x+10)\,(x+10)\,(x+10)\,(x+10)[/tex]
Therefore, there is a single root x = -10, since when x=-10 each of these binomial factors result in a zero.
In mathematical terms, such type of root is said to have multiplicity. And in this case, the multiplicity is "9" (the number of equal binomial factors of the polynomial form).
