Question

Find the zero of the polynomial in the following case:- p(x) = x – 5

Answer 1

Zero of a polynomial is that 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 is0 and hence, x = 5 is a zero of the given polynomial.
