Find the zeros of the polynomial in each of the following cases:
(i) $P (x) = x - \frac{3}{5}$

Open in App

Solution

Calculation of the zeros:
The zeros of a polynomial are those values of the variable which makes the polynomial zero.
Equate the given polynomial $P (x) = x - \frac{3}{5}$ to 0 and solve for $x$ to obtain the required value.
$\begin{array}{rcl} P (x) & = & 0 \\ \Rightarrow x - \frac{3}{5} & = & 0 \\ ∴ x & = & \frac{3}{5} (A d d i n g \frac{3}{5} t o b o t h s i d e s) \end{array}$
Final Answer: The zero of the given polynomial is $\frac{3}{5}$ .
