Question

a real number alpha is called a zero of the polynomial
f(x),then f(Alpha) equal

Ayush Jha · Accepted Answer

The zero of any polynomial f(x) means the value of the variable for which the value of the polynomial vanishes.

So for example let p(x) be a polynomial having $α$ as one of its zeros.

Than the value of the polynomial vanishes on satisfying the value -

$p (α) = 0$
