Question

Find the zero of the polynomial $\mathrm{p}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)=\mathrm{x}-5$

Answer 1

Find the zero of the given polynomial:

Given polynomial is $\mathrm{p}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)=\mathrm{x}-5$

$\bullet$Polynomial: A polynomial is an expression composed of variables, constants and exponents, and exponents of all variable is a whole number.

$\bullet$Zero of a polynomial: Zeroes of a polynomial $\mathrm{p}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)$ are all the values of $\mathrm{x}$ that makes the polynomial equals to zero.

Now to find the zero of the given polynomial equate it to zero and find the value of $\mathrm{x}$

So, $\mathrm{p}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)=0$

$\Rightarrow$$\mathrm{x}-5=0$

$\Rightarrow$ $\mathrm{x}=5$

Hence, the zero of the given polynomial is $5$
