đš Question 1
Verify whether the following are zeros of the polynomial or not.

(i) Polynomial: f(x) = x² â 4
Check whether 2 is a zero.
Solution / āϏāĻŽāĻžāϧāĻžāύ :
f(2) = 2² â 4
= 4 â 4
= 0
đ Yes, 2 is a zero of the polynomial.

(ii) Polynomial: f(x) = x² + x â 6
Check whether 2 is a zero.
Solution / āϏāĻŽāĻžāϧāĻžāύ :
f(2) = 2² + 2 â 6
= 4 + 2 â 6
= 0
đ Yes, 2 is a zero.
(iii) Polynomial: f(x) = 3x â 5
Check whether 5/3 is a zero.
Solution / āϏāĻŽāĻžāϧāĻžāύ :
f(5/3) = 3(5/3) â 5
= 5 â 5
= 0
đ Yes, 5/3 is a zero.
(iv) Polynomial: f(x) = x + 4
Check whether â4 is a zero.
Solution / āϏāĻŽāĻžāϧāĻžāύ :
f(â4) = â4 + 4
= 0
đ Yes, â4 is a zero.
đš Question 2
Find the zero of the polynomial using graph (conceptual understanding).

Explanation (Easy Language):
- Draw the graph of the polynomial.
- The point where the graph cuts the x-axis is called the zero.
- Because at x-axis, y = 0.
āϏāĻšāĻāĻā§:
āĻā§ā§°āĻžāĻĢā§ āϝâāϤ x-axis āĻāĻžāĻā§, āϏā§āĻ x-ā§° āĻŽāĻžāύā§āĻ āĻŦāĻšā§āĻĒāĻĻā§ā§° zeroāĨ¤
Example:
For polynomial y = x â 2
- Graph cuts x-axis at x = 2
- So, zero = 2
đ VERY IMPORTANT EXAM POINTS
â Zero means f(x) = 0
â Always substitute given value
â Quadratic polynomial can have two zeros
â Linear polynomial has one zero
