Question

verify whether the following are zero of the polynomial, indicated against them p(x)=3x+1,x=-1/3​

Answer 1

Answer:

p(×) =3×+1

so given x=-1/3

put the valve of x in x place

p(-1/3)=3(-1/3)+1

=3×-1/3+1

=-1+1

=0

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, x = -1/3 is a zero of polynomial 3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given –

• p(x) = 3x + 1

• x = -1/3

To Find –

• verify whether the following are zero of the polynomial, indicated against them.

Solution –

⇒p(x) = 3x + 1

Now, replace the value of x in p(x).

⇒p( -1/3 ) = 3 ( -1/3 ) + 1

⇒p( -1/3 ) = -3/3 + 1

⇒p( -1/3 ) = -1 +1

⇒p( -1/3 ) = 0

Therefore, x = -1/3 is a zero of polynomial 3x + 1.
