Question

Verify whether the following are zeros of the polynomial indicated against them:

$s\left(x\right)=x^2,x=0,1$.

• A. $x=0$ is a zero
• B. $x=1$ is a zero
• C. $x=0$ is not a zero
• D. $x=1$ is not a zero

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

$x=0$ is a zero
$x=1$ is not a zero

Given, $s\left(x\right)=x^2$

Now, $s\left(0\right)=(0{)}^2=0$ and

$s\left(1\right)=(1{)}^2=1$

Clearly, $s\left(0\right)=0$ and $s\left(1\right)\ne 0$

$\therefore$ $x=0$ is zero of given polynomial but $x=1$ is not a zero of the polynomial.

That is, option $A$ and $D$ is correct.
