Question

Find the zero of the polynomial given below:

$p\left(x\right)=9x-3$.

• A. $\frac{6}{7}$
• B. $\frac{1}{2}$
• C. $\frac{1}{3}$
• D. $\frac{7}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{1}{3}$

Given, $p\left(x\right)=9x-3$.
to find the zero of a polynomial we need to equal that polynomial to zero.
thus, $p\left(x\right)=0$

$\Rightarrow 9x-3=0$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{3}{9}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{3}$.

Therefore, option $C$ is correct.
