Question

The graph of the polynomial p(x) = ax - b, where a = 0, a, b e R intersects the X-axis at ........... point.​

Answer 1

Answer:

p(x) meets x axis at the coordinates ((b/a), 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

p(x) = ax - b, where a ≠ 0, and a,b ∈ R

We know that,

p(x) = y

So,

y = ax - b

Now,

A line meeting at the x axis will have the coordinates (x, 0)

Here y = 0

So,

0 = ax - b

ax = b

x = b/a

Hence,

p(x) meets x axis at the coordinates ((b/a), 0)
