Step 1
Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, states if f(x) is a polynomial of degree n, where n>0, then f has at least one zero in the complex number system.
The polynomial given to us is f(x)=x35x225x+125.
Step 2
the highest power of this polynomial is 3 so, there will be 3 roots to this polynomial.
now, by factorizing the polynomial we get
f(x)=(x5)(x225)
f(x)=(x5)(x5)(x+5)
f(x)=(x5)2(x+5)
therefore, we can see that the roots of the polynomial are real and the roots of the polynomial are x=5,5
and the multiplicity of the roots x=5 is 2

by grouping method:
f(x)=x35x225x+125.
=x2(x5)25(x5)
f(x)=(x5)(x225)=(x5)(x5)(x+5)
f(x)=(x5)2(x+5)

Given that the function
f(x)=x35x225x+125
We have to find the roots of f(x)
Let us try to factorize the function to find the roots
We can group two by two and find out
f(x)=x2(x5)25(x5)
=(x225)(x5)
=(x+5)(x5)2
We find that the roots are -5,5,5
Or -5 with a multiplicity of 1 and 5 with a multiplicity of 2 are the roots of the equation
