Which of the following expressions is a polynomial? Find the degree and zeroes of the polynomial.(i) x/2 + 2/x (ii) x2 +2x |
Answer» In the above expressions, only the second one has a positive power, unlike others. ∴ It is the only polynomial. Equating the expression with 0, x2 + 2x = 0 x ( x+2) = 0 ∴ x = 0 or x + 2 = 0 x = 0 or x = -2 The zeroes of the polynomial x2 +2x are 2 & -2, having a degree of 2, being the highest power of the terms in the same expression. |
