Which option has a linear polynomial whose zero is negative?
Advertisement
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(x+5\)
In option C, \(x+5\) is a linear polynomial because its degree is 1. Setting \(x+5=0\) gives \(x=-5\), so its zero is negative. In contrast, the zero of \(x-6\) is \(6\), which is positive. Exam tip: the zero of \(ax+b\) is \(-\frac{b}{a}\).
