For which value will the zero of (p(x)=(c+1)x+2c) be (-4)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(c=-2\)

If \(-4\) is a zero of \(p(x)\), then \(p(-4)=0\). Thus, \((c+1)(-4)+2c=0\), or \(-4c-4+2c=0\). This gives \(-2c-4=0\), so \(c=-2\). For \(c=-1\), the polynomial becomes the constant \(-2\), which has no zero. Exam tip: for a given zero \(a\), always use \(p(a)=0\).
