Question
Find the zero of the polynomial in the following case:
p(x) = x – 5
Advertisements
Solution
The zero of a polynomial is the value of the variable at which the value of the polynomial is obtained as 0.
p(x) = x − 5
p(x) = 0
x − 5 = 0
x = 5
Therefore, for x = 5, the value of the polynomial is 0.
Hence, x = 5 is a zero of the given polynomial.
