Answer:
One of the zero of p(x) is 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given p(x)= ax² +bx+c
The above mentioned equation is in the quadratic form
a+b+c =0
Consider the given eqn
p(x)= ax² +bx+c
The above mentioned equation is the general form of the polynomial where a, b, c are variables and x is a constant
Put x=1 in the above equation we get
p(1)=a+b+c
But we know that a+b+c = 0
Therefore p(1)=0
So when x=1 p(1)=0
Therefore x=1 is the root of p(x)
x=1 is one of the zero of p(x)
Here p represents the polynomial
Hope it helps
