Q4 of 82 Page 121

Let us determine the zeros of the following polynomials—

f(x) = ax + b, (a ≠ 0)

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) = ax+b


Then,


Zero of the polynomial f(x)


Means f(x) = 0


ax+b = 0


ax = -b


x =


∴ Zero of polynomial f(x) is


Conclusion.


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