Q4 of 82 Page 121

Let us determine the zeros of the following polynomials—

f(x) = 7x + 2

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) = 7x+2


Then,


Zero of the polynomial f(x)


Means f(x) = 0


7x+2 = 0


7x = -2


x =


∴ Zero of polynomial f(x) is


Conclusion.


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