Question

State True or False, if the following are zeros of the polynomial, indicated against them:

$p\left(x\right)=3x+1,x=-\frac{1}{3}$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Given, $p\left(x\right)=3x+1$.

On substituting $x=\frac{-1}{3}$ in $p\left(x\right)$, we get,

$p\left(\frac{-1}{3}\right)=3\left(\frac{-1}{3}\right)+1=-1+1=0$.

Since $p\left(x\right)=0$ at $x=\frac{-1}{3}$ ,

therefore, $x=\frac{-1}{3}$ is zero of polynomial $p\left(x\right)=3x+1$.
Hence, it is true and option $A$ is correct.
