If the zeros of a polynomial are 3 and -5, then they cut the x-axis at ____ and _____ points.(a) (8, 0) and (-4, 0)(b) (3, -3) and (-5, 5)(c) (-3, 0) and (5, 0)(d) (3, 0) and (-5, 0)I have been asked this question in homework.This is a very interesting question from Geometrical Meaning of Zeros of Polynomial in chapter Polynomials of Mathematics – Class 10

Answer»

Right choice is (d) (3, 0) and (-5, 0)

For explanation: Since, the ZEROS of the polynomial are 3 and -5.

Therefore, x = 3 and x = -5 and they cut the x-axis so the y-coordinate will be zero.

Hence, the points it CUTS the x-axis will be (3, 0) and (-5, 0).
