The zero of the polynomial p(x) = ax+b is ______.
ab
−ab
ba
−ba
For the zero of the polynomial, equate it with zero. p(x)=0
⟹ax+b=0
⟹ax=−b
⟹x=−ba The zero of the polynomial p(x)=ax+b is (−ba).
What is the remainder on dividing the polynomial p(x) by ax + b? What is condition under which ax + b is a factor of the polynomial p(x)?
