Question

Find the zero of the polynomial.

$p(x) = ax + b (a \: \: is \: \: not = 0)$
​

Answer 1

Answer:

-b/a is the zero of the given polynomial

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial = p(x)= ax+b

to get zero of the given p(x) , we equating the p(x)=0

therefore, ax+b =0

=> ax= -b

=> x = -b/a
