Question

Find the zero of the polynomial $3x+2$.

• A. $\frac{2}{3}$
• B. $\frac{-2}{3}$
• C. $\frac{3}{2}$
• D. $\frac{-3}{2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{-2}{3}$

If k is a zero of a polynomial p(x), then p(k)=0.

Here, to find the zero of the given polynomial, we need to equate it to zero.

$3x+2=0$
$\Rightarrow$ $3x=-2$
$\Rightarrow$ $x=\frac{-2}{3}$

Thus, $\frac{-2}{3}$ is the zero of the polynomial $3x+2$.
