Question

Find the zero of the polynomial in each of the following in the following case:
$p\left(x\right)=x+5$

Answer 1

To find the zero of the given polynomial $p\left(x\right)=x+5$, equate it to $0$ as shown below:

$p\left(x\right)=0\Rightarrow x+5=0\Rightarrow x=-5$

Hence, $x=-5$ is the zero of the given polynomial.
