The correct Answer is:
To find the zeroes of the polynomial \( x^2 - 9 \), we need to determine the values of \( x \) for which the polynomial equals zero. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Set the polynomial equal to zero:** \[ x^2 - 9 = 0 \] 2. **Rearrange the equation:** \[ x^2 = 9 \] 3. **Take the square root of both sides:** \[ x = \pm \sqrt{9} \] 4. **Calculate the square root:** \[ x = \pm 3 \] 5. **Write the zeroes:** The zeroes of the polynomial \( x^2 - 9 \) are: \[ x = 3 \quad \text{and} \quad x = -3 \] ### Final Answer: The zeroes of the polynomial \( x^2 - 9 \) are \( 3 \) and \( -3 \).
