Q4 of 82 Page 121

Let us determine the zeros of the following polynomials—

f(x) = 2 – x

Formula used/Theory.


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


We have,


f(x) = 2 – x


Then,


Zero of the polynomial f(x)


Means f(x) = 0


2 – x = 0


-x = -2


x = 2


∴ Zero of polynomial f(x) is 2


Conclusion.


Hence, the zero of the polynomial f(x) is 2
