Identifying Zeros and Their Multiplicities

In the realm of mathematics, identifying zeros within a function entails determining the x-values at which the function equates to zero. The term 'multiplicity of a zero' denotes the frequency of occurrence of that particular zero as a root. Importantly, the multiplicity of a zero influences the behavior of the graph at the zero. Specifically, even multiplicities result in a bounce, while odd multiplicities cause the graph to pass through.
