Question 511 Mark
Find the zero of the polynomial: $\text{p}(\text{x})=\text{ax},\ \text{a}\neq0$
Answer
View full question & answer→$\text{p}(\text{x})=0$$\Rightarrow\text{ax}+\text{b}=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=-\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}$
Hence, $-\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}$ is the zero of the polynomial $p(x).$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=-\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}$
Hence, $-\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}$ is the zero of the polynomial $p(x).$
