If (p(a)=0), what is (a) called for (p(x))?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Zero

The direct answer is C, zero. A number a is called a zero of a polynomial p(x) when substituting x=a makes the polynomial equal to 0; in symbols, \(p(a)=0\). The given statement already has exactly this definition. Option C is therefore correct. Option A, coefficient, is a number multiplying a term, such as 5 in \(5x\). Option B, degree, is the highest power of the variable, such as 2 in \(x^2+1\). Option D, term, is one part separated by plus or minus signs, such as \(x^2\) or 3. None of these definitions means that the value of the polynomial is zero. Memory cue: substitute a; if the result is zero, a is a zero.
