Dear student,
Let p(x) = 69 + 11x − x2 + x3 and g(x) = x + 3
g(x) = x + 3
zero of g(x) ⇒ g(x) = 0
x + 3 = 0
x = – 3
Therefore, zero of g(x) = – 3
So, substituting the value of x in p(x), we get,
p( – 3) = 69 + 11( – 3) –( – 3)2 + ( – 3)3
= 69 – 69
= 0
Since, the remainder = zero,
We can say that,
g(x) = x + 3 is factor of p(x) = 69 + 11x − x2 + x3
i.e -3 is a zero of the polynomial.
