Question

wether 1/2 and 1 are zeros of the polynomial p(x) =2^2-3x+1 or not justify please answer me ​

Answer 1

Answer:

(i) p [1/2] = 2^2 - 3 . 1/2 + 1

= 4 - 3/2 + 1

= 5 - 3/2

= Taking LCM as 2

= 10 - 3 whole / 2

= 7/2 which is not equal to zero

= So 1/2 is not the zero.

(ii) p [1] = 2^2 - 3.1 +1

= 4-3+1

2

Which is not equal to zero

So 1 is not the zero

So both 1 and 1/2 are not the zeros
