Verify whether the indicated numbers are zeros of the polynomials corresponding to them in the following cases:$ f(x)=l x+m, x=-\frac{m}{l} $


Given:

\( f(x)=l x+m, x=-\frac{m}{l} \)

To do: 

We have to find whether the indicated numbers are zeros of the polynomials corresponding to them.

Solution:

To find whether $x=-\frac{m}{l}$ is a zero of $f(x)$ we have to check if $f(-\frac{m}{l})=0$

Therefore,

$f(-\frac{m}{l})=l \times(-\frac{m}{l})+m$

$=-m+m$

$=0$

Therefore, $x=-\frac{m}{l}$ is the zero of $f(x)$.
