Question

Zero of the polynomial p(x) = 2x + 3 is
(a) $\frac{3}{2}$
(b) $\frac{-3}{2}$
(c) $\frac{-2}{3}$
(d) $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 1

(b) $\frac{-3}{2}$

Zero of the polynomial p(x) is given by p(x) = 0.
Thus, we have:
$$\begin{gathered} 2x+3=0 \\ \Rightarrow 2x=-3 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{-3}{2} \end{gathered}$$
