SAT Math· difficulty 4/5
At a zero with even multiplicity, the graph of a polynomial:
Touches the x-axis but does not cross it
Has a vertical asymptote
Has a hole
Crosses the x-axis
Explanation
Even multiplicity zeros cause the graph to touch the x-axis and bounce back. Odd multiplicity zeros cause crossing.
