Question

what is the value of k if K is a zero of P(x)=5x+3 ​

Answer 1

The value of k is -3/5

• It is given that k is a zero of P(x) = 5x+3 . That means k is a root of the polynomial.
• Now P(x) = 5x+3 is a polynomial of degree 1 . So according to fundamental theorem of algebra we know that the polynomial will have only one root.
• now equating with 0 we get 5x+3=0. This yields x = $-\frac{3}{5}$
• So the only root or zero of P(x) is $-\frac{3}{5}$
• As k is also a zero of P(x) then k and $-\frac{3}{5}$ are equal.
• So the value of k is $-\frac{3}{5}$ .

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of k is -3/5 because in question it is given that k is zero of p(x)
