Question

Find the zero of the polynomial
p(x)=ax ,a is not equal to 0

Answer 1

Answer:

p(x)=x

it is not equal to 0

Answer 2

p(x)=ax

ß is said to be the root of p(x), if p(ß)=0.

Now, finding the zero of p(x) is same as solving the equation p(x)=0

Thus, ax=0 =>x = 0/a = 0

Thus, zero of p(x) = 0
