Question

p(x)=(x-1)(x+1);x=-1,-2 verify whether the values of x given in each case are the zeros of the polynomial or not?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

x= (-1) is a zero of polynomial (x-1)(x+1) but x= (-2) is not a zero of polynomial (x-1)(x+1).

Step-by-step explanation:

x= (-1)

P(x)= (x-1)(x+1)

P(-1)= (-1-1)(-1+1)

P(-1)= (-2)(0)

P(-1)= 0

Therefore, x= (-1) is a zero of polynomial (x-1)(x+1)

x= (-2)

P(x)= (x-1)(x+1)

P(-2)= (-2-1)(-2+1)

P(-2)= (-3)(-1)

P(-2)= 3

Therefore, x= (-2) is not a zero of polynomial (x-1)(x+1)
