Question
Find the zero of the polynomial in the following case:
p(x) = x + 5
Solution
The zero of a polynomial is the value of the variable at which the value of the polynomial is obtained as 0.
p(x) = x + 5
p(x) = 0
x + 5 = 0
x = −5
Therefore, for x = −5, the value of the polynomial is 0.
Hence, x = −5 is a zero of the given polynomial.
