Answer:

x=3, multiplicity of 2

x=-5, multiplicity of 1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (x - 3)(x - 3)(x + 5)

Rewriting

f(x) = (x - 3)^2(x + 5)

Setting equal to zero

0 =  (x - 3)^2(x + 5)

Using the zero product property

(x-3)^2  = 0   x+5 = 0

x-3 = 0         x= -5

x=3             x-5

Since x-3 was squared, the multiplicity is 2
