Multiplicity Zero
1. The given function is $$G(x) = (7x + 3)^4 (5x - 2)(3x + 2)^4 (5x + 3)^4 (5x - 1).$$
2. We are told the multiplicity of the zero $$-\frac{3}{5}$$ of $$G$$ is $$\frac{3}{7} m$$, and we need to find $$m$$.
3. First, find which factor corresponds to the zero $$-\frac{3}{5}$$.
4. Set each factor to zero to find zeros:
- For $$7x + 3 = 0$$, $$x = -\frac{3}{7}$$
- For $$5x - 2 = 0$$, $$x = \frac{2}{5}$$
- For $$3x + 2 = 0$$, $$x = -\frac{2}{3}$$
- For $$5x + 3 = 0$$, $$x = -\frac{3}{5}$$
- For $$5x - 1 = 0$$, $$x = \frac{1}{5}$$
5. The zero $$-\frac{3}{5}$$ corresponds to the factor $$(5x + 3)^4$$.
6. Its multiplicity is the exponent 4.
7. Since multiplicity is given by $$\frac{3}{7} m$$, set equal to 4:
$$\frac{3}{7} m = 4$$
8. Solve for $$m$$:
$$m = 4 \times \frac{7}{3} = \frac{28}{3}$$
Final answer: $$m = \frac{28}{3}$$
