The zero of the polynomial $p (x) = 5 x - 10$ is ___

Open in App

Solution

To find the zero of the polynomial, we must put $p (x) = 0$
Here, $p (x) = 5 x - 10$
$5 x - 10 = 0$
$⟹ 5 x = 10$

$⟹ x = \frac{10}{5}$

$⟹ x = 2$

___ is a factor of the polynomial $p (x) = 5 x - 10$ .

p (x) = x^{2} - 5 x + 6

Statement1: The polynomial $P (x) = 4 x^{3} - 3 x^{2} + 5 x - 6$ when divided by $x - 1$ gives zero as the remainder.

Statement2: $(x - 1)$ is a factor of the polynomial $P (x) = 4 x^{3} - 3 x^{2} + 5 x - 6$ .

Find the zeroes of the polynomial $p (x) = 2 x^{2} - 5 x - 12$ and verify the relationship between its zeroes and coefficients.
