Dear student,

P(x) is a polynomial also P(k)=0 , then
By remainder theorem the remainder will be equals to 0 when
the above polynomial is divided by x-k
As 0 is the remainder that means (x-k) completely divides the
polynomial and we can say k is the zero of the polynomial
Hence, k is the zero of p(x)
