Which option has zero (8) for a linear polynomial?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(x-8\)
To find the zero of the linear polynomial \(x-8\), set \(x-8=0\). This gives \(x=8\), so its zero is 8. In contrast, \(x+8\) has zero \(-8\). Exam tip: Set a polynomial equal to 0 and solve for \(x\) to find its zero.
