To determine the roots you must find the value of x that will make each binomial equal to zero. |
| To determine the roots behavior you must find the multiplicity and see if it is even or odd. |
| If the roots multiplicity is even then the line will bounce back like a parabola. If the roots multiplicity is odd then the line will pass through like a sin curve. |
