Question

What is a zero of a polynomial function?  A. The coefficient of the leading term of the polynomial  B. A value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero  C. The value of the polynomial when zero is substituted for the variable  D. A coefficient of the polynomial that is equal to zero

Answer 1

B. A zero of a polynomial function is any variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero

For example:

For the polynomial x^2 + x - 2
1 is a zero for this polynomial because when you plug it into x, the equations becomes 0
