Q3 of 82 Page 121

Let us check the following statements—

The two zeros of the polynomial P(x) = x2 – 9 are 3 and –3.

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) = x2 – 9


And zero of the polynomial P(x) are 3 and -3


Then,


Zero of the polynomial P(x)


Means P(x) = 0


x2 – 9 = 0


x2 – (3)2 = 0


a2 – b2 = (a+b)(a-b)


(x – 3)(x+3) = 0


x – 3 = 0 and x+3 = 0


x = 3 and x = -3


Zero of polynomial P(x) is 3 and -3


Conclusion.


Hence, the statement is True
