Answer 1

Answer:

Thanks for A2A

Step-by-step explanation:

If x=a is the zero of polynomial p(x)

it means the equation must be;

=> x-a = 0

This same equation will be applicable to p(a)

if you are asking about zero of p(a) then,

=> p(a) = 0

=> x-a = 0

=> -a = -x

eliminating the ' - ' on both sides, we get

=> a= x

Therefore, p(a) = x
