Question

If two of the zeroes of a cubic polynomial are zero, then it does not have ______ and ______ terms.

Answer 1

If two of the zeroes of a cubic polynomial are zero, then it does not have linear and constant terms.

Explanation:

If the zeroes are 0, 0 and r, the cubic factors as x²(x – r) = x³ – rx², so there are no x (linear) or constant terms (equivalently, in ax³ + bx² + cx + d we get c = d = 0).
