Step 1
Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, states if f(x) is a polynomial of degree n, where , then f has at least one zero in the complex number system.
The polynomial given to us is .
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
therefore, we can see that the roots of the polynomial are real and the roots of the polynomial are
and the multiplicity of the roots

Given that the function
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
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
