Question

7/5 is a zero of the linear polynomial p(x)=5x+7.State whether the given statement is true or false.

Answer 1

In the attachment I have answered

this problem.

The value of p(x) at x = 7/5 is not

equal to zero. Hence 7/5 is not a zero

of p(x).

Therefore the given statement is

wrong.

Answer 2

Acc to the question, we have to verify if 7/5 is a zero of the linear polynomial p(x)=5x+7 or not.

So, the given polynomial is: p(x)=5x+7

or, 5x + 7 = 0.

or, 5x = -7.

or, x = -$\frac{7}{5}$ which is not equal to $\frac{7}{5}$ because of the negative sign.

Thus, the given statement is false.
