◾Answer:-
• The required value of p is -10 .
◾Step-by-step explanation:-
• Given-
★ A polynomial, x² + 3x + p, where 2 is one of its zeroes.
• To Find-
★ The value of p.
• Solution-
★ Let p(x) = x² + 3x + p .....(1)
Now,
∵ 2 is one of the zeroes of the given polynomial,
∴ substituting 2 in the place of x and equating it with zero [since (x-2) is one of the factors of the polynomial] will give us the required value of p.
i.e.,
p(2) = (2)² + 3(2) + p = 0 [ From (1) ]
⇒p(2) = 4 + 6 + p = 0
⇒p(2) = 10 + p = 0
⇒p(2) = p = -10 (Ans.)
~ Hence, the required value of p is -10 .
