Question

. Verify whether the values of 'x' given 3 and 2 are the zeroes of the polynomial P(x) = x2 - 5x + 6 ​

Answer 1

Firstly, zeros if polynomials are those values of 'x' for which the function p(x) is zero.

Given:

Here, our p(x) is x^2-5x+6.

To Find:

We need to find weather for x=2 and x=3 out p(x) is zero?

SOLUTION:

We simply put the values of x=2 and x=3 and check if p(x) is zero.

For x=2,

p(2)=2^2-5×2+6

=4-5×2+6

=4-10+6

=0

So, x=2 is the zero of the given polynomial.

For x=3,

p(3)=3^2-5×3+6

=9-15+6

=0

So, x=3 is also zero of the given polynomial.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

p (x) = x² - 5x + 6

p (2) = (2)² - 5 (2) + 6 = 4 - 10 + 6 = 10 - 10 = 0

∴ p (2) is the zero of the polynomial.

p (3)= (3)² - 5 (3) + 6 = 9 - 15 + 6 = 15 - 15 = 0

∴p (3) is also the zero of the polynomial.
