Question

The zero of the polynomial p(x) = -4x + 16 is: *​

Answer 1

• p(x)=0

$\\ \sf\longmapsto -4x+16=0$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 4x-16=0$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 4x=16$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{16}{4}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=4$

Verification:-

$\\ \sf\longmapsto p(4)=-4(4)+16$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto -16+16$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 0$

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of x is 4 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

p(x) = -4x + 16

To Find :

The value of x.

As we know p(x) = 0

i.e.

-4x + 16 = 0

-4x = -16

x = -16/-4

x = 4

∴ The value of x is 4.
