hey
p(x) = x^2 + a
p(-3) = (-3)^2 + a = 0
9 + a = 0
a = -9
x^2 - 9 = 0
x^2 = 9
x = +3 and x = -3
therefore the other zero is 3

if one zero is -3
then, x^2 + a = (-3)^2+a = 0
= 9+a=0
therefore, a=-9
so, other roots of the polynomial are
= x^2 + a = x^2 + 9 = 0
so x = -3 or x = 3
then, x^2 + a = (-3)^2+a = 0
= 9+a=0
therefore, a=-9
so, other roots of the polynomial are
= x^2 + a = x^2 + 9 = 0
so x = -3 or x = 3
