Find the zeroes of the polynomial in each of the following:

(i) p(x) = x – 4


(ii) g(x) = 3 – 6x


(iii) q(x) = 2x –7


(iv) h(y) = 2y

(i) p(x) = x – 4


For the zero of the polynomial p(x) we put p(x) = 0


x – 4= 0 x = 4


Hence the zero of the polynomial is 4.


(ii) g(x) = 3 – 6x


For the zero of the polynomial Putting g(x) = 0 we get


3 – 6x = 0 x = 3/6 = 1/2


Hence the zero of the polynomial is 1/2


(iii) q(x) = 2x –7


For the zero of the polynomial Putting q(x) = 0 we get


2x – 7 = 0 x = 7/2


Hence the zero of the polynomial is 7/2


(iv) h (y) = 2y


For the zero of the polynomial Putting h(y)= 0 we get


2y =0 y = 0


Hence the zero of the polynomial is 0
