did i do this statement right?

[josh123]

Let f(x) = (x - 2) 2 (x + 3) 3 (x - 3) 4. Set f(x) = 0. Then which of the following statements is true?

The equation has a negative root of multiplicity 2

The function f(x) =(x - 2)<SUP>2</SUP>(x + 3)<SUP>3</SUP>(x - 3)<SUP>4</SUP> clearly has three roots.
What are they? Which one is negative?
