A polynomial is a function of the form f(x)=anxn+an−1xn−1+...+a2x2+a1x+a0
where an,an−1,...a2,a1,a0 . are contants
and n is a natural number.
To find Zeroes :
p(x)=0
Given p(x)=3x+5
⇒3x+5=0
⇒x=−53
Hence, x=−53 is Zero of polynomial p(x).
Find the zero of the polynomial in each of the following cases:
(i) p(x) = x + 5 (ii) p(x) = x − 5 (iii) p(x) = 2x + 5
(iv) p(x) = 3x − 2 (v) p(x) = 3x (vi) p(x) = ax, a ≠ 0
(vii) p(x) = cx + d, c ≠ 0, c, are real numbers.
