Question
Find a zero of the polynomial $p(x) = 2x + 1$
✓
Answer
Finding a zero of $p(x),$ is the same as solving the equation $p(x) = 0$
Now, $2x + 1 = 0$ gives us $x=-\frac{1}{2}$
So, $-\frac{1}{2}$ is a zero of the polynomial $2x + 1 $
Now, $2x + 1 = 0$ gives us $x=-\frac{1}{2}$
So, $-\frac{1}{2}$ is a zero of the polynomial $2x + 1 $
