Answer 1

Explanation:

x=

3

−1

is a zero of p(x)=3x+1p(x)=3x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

p(x)=3x+1p(x)=3x+1

and x=\dfrac{-1}{3}x=

3

−1

We need to check the zeroes of polynomial.

First we put the value of x in the given polynomial to check whether it gives 0 or not.

So, it becomes,

p(\dfrac{-1}{3})=3(\dfrac{-1}{3})+1=-1+1=0p(

3

−1

)=3(

3

−1

)+1=−1+1=0

Hence, x=\dfrac{-1}{3}x=

3

−1

is a zero of p(x)=3x+1p(x)=3x+1
