Q2 of 44 Page 60

Find the zeroes of the given polynomials.

p(x) = 3x

A zero or root of a polynomial function is a number that, when plugged in for the variable, makes the function equal to zero.

Therefore, to find zeroes put p(x)=0.


p(x) = 0


⇒ 3x = 0


⇒ x = 0


Hence, x=0 is the zero of the polynomial.
