Find the zero of the polynomial:$P(x)=x- 5x+6$
Given: $P(x)=x- 5x+6$
To do: Find zero of the polynomial
Solution:
Your question is "The zero of the polynomial $P(x)=x^2- 5x+6$
$x^2-5x+6=0$
$x^2-3x-2x+6=0$
$x(x-3)-2(x-3)=0$
$(x-3)(x-2)=0$
$x-3=0 or x-2=0$
$x=3 \ or \ x=2$
Zeroes of the polynomial P(x) are 3 and 2.
