Question

Verify whether the values indicated against the following polynomials are zeroes of the polynomial.p(x)=3x2; x=0

Philoid · Accepted Answer

After substituting the value for variable in the polynomial if we get 0 then that value is called zero of the polynomial.

It means that if p(x) = 0, then x will be called as the zero of the polynomial.

p(x) = 3x²; x=0

substituting x = 0 in 3x²

⇒ p(0) = 3(0)²

⇒ p(0) = 0

Yes x = 0 is zero of polynomial p(x) = 3x²
