We can conclude that and must be zero. Otherwise, the equation cannot be true. There are chances of other variables having a 0 value as well. But, and are required to have a numerical value of 0 to JUSTIFY the equation.

The question is: IF TWO roots of a x³ + b x² + c x + d are 0, then find the third zero.
if two roots of P(x) = a x³ + b x² + c x + d are zero that means
P(0) = 0
=> a 0³ + b 0² + c 0 + d = 0
=> d = 0
P(x) = x ( ax² + b x + c)
So one root of a x² + b x + c is 0. This means that
a 0² + b 0 + c = 0 => c = 0
Hence, P(x) = x * x * ( a x + b)
Thus the third root is : x where a x + b = 0
=> x = - b/a Answer.
==================
Simpler method:
The sum of the three roots of P(x) a x³ + b x² + c x + d = - b/a
(- coefficient of x² / coefficient of x³)
So if two roots are 0, then the third root is -b/a.
if two roots of P(x) = a x³ + b x² + c x + d are zero that means
P(0) = 0
=> a 0³ + b 0² + c 0 + d = 0
=> d = 0
P(x) = x ( ax² + b x + c)
So one root of a x² + b x + c is 0. This means that
a 0² + b 0 + c = 0 => c = 0
Hence, P(x) = x * x * ( a x + b)
Thus the third root is : x where a x + b = 0
=> x = - b/a Answer.
