Question

For what value of p,6 is zero of the polynomial x square - 2p plus 1x plus 6 ans plz

Answer 1

The value of p is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polynomial,

f(x) = x² - 2p + x + 6

Given that 6 is a zero of the polynomial.

f(6) = 0

=> 6² - 2p + 6 + 6 = 0

=> 36 - 2p + 12 = 0

=> 24 - 2p = 0

=> 2p = 24

=> p = $\frac{24}{2}$

=> p = 12

Hence, the value of p is 12.
