Question

Find zero of the polynomial p(x) =x square-2 and state at whether it is rational or irrational

Answer 1

Answer:

√2

It is an irrational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, p(x)=x^2-2

Now,

p(x)=0

x^2-2=0

x^2=2

x=√2

Therefore, zero of the polynomial (x^2-2) is √2.

Since, √2 does not have any fixed value.

So, it is a irrational number.
