Let us check the following statements—

The zero of the polynomial P(x) = 5x + 1 is

Formula used/Theory.


There is some value of ‘x’ for which the P(x) comes to 0, that value of ‘x’ is said to be zero of polynomial P(x)


We have,


P(x) = 5x+1


And zero of the polynomial P(x) is


Then,


Zero of the polynomial P(x)


Means P(x) = 0


5x+1 = 0


5x = -1


x =


∴ Zero of polynomial P(x) is


Conclusion.


Hence, the statement is True
