Question

what number should be asded to the polynomial x^2-5x+4,so that 3 is a zero of polynomial so obatined​

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let k be added to the polynomial.

Given Equation is p(x) = x^2 - 5x + (4 + k).

If 3 is the zero of the polynomial, then the equation will become p(3) = 0

p(3) = (3)^2 - 5(3) + (4 + k) = 0

       9 - 15 + 4 + k = 0

         - 6 + 4 + k = 0

            -2 + k = 0

               k = 2.

Therefore the number to be added to the polynomial is 2.

Hope this helps!
