Question  

FIND the zeroes of the given polynomials.

(i) p(x) = 3X

(ii) p(x) = x² + 5X + 6

(III) p(x) = (x + 2)(x + 3)

(iv) p(x) = x⁴ - 16

We Must Know  

To find the zero(s) of a given polynomial, it must be equated with zero. The possible values for 'x' will be the zeros of the polynomial.

Solution  

\sf{(i)\ p(x)=3x}\\\\\sf{\dashrightarrow 3x=0}\\\\\sf{\dashrightarrow x=\dfrac{0}{3} }\\\\\sf{\color{magenta}{\dashrightarrow x=0}}

HENCE, the zero of this polynomial p(x) is 0.

\rule{180}2

\sf{(ii)\ p(x)=x^2+5x+6}\\\\\sf{\dashrightarrow x^2+5x+6=0}\\\\\sf{\dashrightarrow x^2+2x+3x+6=0}\\\\\sf{\dashrightarrow x(x+2)+3(x+2)=0}\\\\\sf{\dashrightarrow (x+2)(x+3)=0}\\\\\sf{\dashrightarrow (x+2)=0\:\:or\:\:(x+3)=0}\\\\\sf{\color{magenta}{\dashrightarrow x=-2}\:\:or\:\:\color{magenta}{x=-3}}

Hence, the zero of this polynomial p(x) are -2 & -3.

\rule{180}2

\sf{(iii)\ p(x)=(x+2)(x+3)}\\\\\sf{\dashrightarrow (x+2)(x+3)=0}\\\\\sf{\dashrightarrow (x+2)=0\:\:or\:\:(x+3)=0}\\\\\sf{\color{magenta}{\dashrightarrow x=-2}\:\:or\:\:\color{magenta}{x=-3}}

Hence, the zero of this polynomial p(x) are -2 & -3.

\rule{180}2

\sf{(iv)\ p(x)=x^4-16}\\\\\sf{\dashrightarrow x^4-16=0}\\\\\sf{\dashrightarrow x^4=16}\\\\\sf{\dashrightarrow x=\sqrt[4]{16} }\\\\\sf{\color{magenta}{\dashrightarrow x=\pm 2}}

Hence, the zeros of this polynomial p(x) are +2 & -2.
