Question

Find the zero of the polynomial for p(x) = 2x + 5.
(ans is in p/q format)

Answer 1

Zero of a polynomial is the value of the variable for which the polynomial becomes 0.

Now, p(x)=2x+5.

For, p(x)=0,

2x+5=0.

or,x= -5/2

Answer 2

Answer:

The zero of the polynomial is p(x)= -5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x)= 2x+5

= Let p(x)= 0

= 2x+5= 0

= 2x= -5

= x= -5/2
