Question

find the roots of the factored polynomial.
$(x - 8)^2$
write your answer as a list of values separated by commas.
$x = \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Set the factor to zero

To find the roots of the polynomial \((x - 8)^2\), we set the factor equal to zero: \(x - 8 = 0\).

Step2: Solve for x

Solving the equation \(x - 8 = 0\) gives \(x = 8\). Since the factor is squared, the root \(x = 8\) has a multiplicity of 2, but we list it once (or as per the problem's request to write as a list of values, we can note the root is 8).

Answer:

8
