Zero of the polynomial p(x) =2x+5 is...

Zero of the polynomial `p(x) =2x+5 ` is

A

`-(2)/(5)`

B

`-(5)/(2)`

C

`(2)/(5)`

D

`(5)/(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Given `P(x) = 2x+5`
For zero of the polynomial ,put `p(x)=0`
`therefore " " 2x+5=0`
`implies " " x=-(5)/(2)`
Hence , zero of the polynomial `p(x) "is " (-5)/(2)`.
