1 answer:

-2 is a constant (since it doesn't have variables) and it is a monomial (since it is all connected by multiplication)
3x-9 is a binomial (since it has two terms, not connected by multiplication) and since it has x in the power of 1, that makes it a linear equation.
Finally,
Answer:
substitute that value for x in the polynomial and see if it evaluates to zero
Step-by-step explanation:
A "zero" of a polynomial is a value of the polynomial's variable that make the expression become zero when it is evaluated. As an almost trivial example, consider the polynomial x-3. The value x = 3 is a zero because substituting that value for x makes the expression evaluate as zero.
3 -3 = 0
___
Evaluating polynomials can be done different ways. Straight substitution for the variable is one way. Using synthetic division by x-a (where "a" is the value of interest) is another way. This latter method is completely equivalent to rewriting the polynomial to Horner form for evaluation.
