Question
Find the zero of the polynomial in $p(x) = x + 5.$
✓
Answer
Zero of a polynomial means the value of the variable at which the polynomial becomes zero.
$p(x) = x + 5p(x)=0$
$x + 5 = 0$
$x = -5$
Thus, $x = -5$ is a zero of the polynomial $p(x) = x + 5.$
$p(x) = x + 5p(x)=0$
$x + 5 = 0$
$x = -5$
Thus, $x = -5$ is a zero of the polynomial $p(x) = x + 5.$
