Question

If one of the zeros of the polynomial x^2-5x+p is 2 then find the other zero

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

• Concept : Sum of zeroes of the quadratic polynomial $ax^2+bx+c$ is $-\dfrac{b}{a}$

                       Here given one zero of $x^2-5x+p$ is 2

                              $\Rightarrow 2+\text{Other zero}=-\dfrac{(-5)}{1}\\\\\Rightarrow \text{Other zero }=5-2=3$
