Question

If p(x) is a polynomial of degree 1
one and p(a) = 0, then a is said
to be:
•Zero of p(x)
• value of p(x)
• Constant of p(x)
•none of these​

Answer 1

As given p(x) is a polynomial of at least degree 1 i.e highest power of variable x is atleast one. As 0 is the remainder that means (x-k) completely divides the polynomial and we can say k is the zero of the polynomial. Hence,k is the zero of p(x).
