The value of p(t) = 2+t+2t2−t3 when t=0 is
a)2       
b) 1                  
c) 4      
d) 0

a

Explanation:p(0)=2+0+2(0)2–(0)3=2



The zero of the polynomial f(x) = 2x+7 is
a) 2/7   
b) -2/7              
c) 7/2   
d)-7/2

d

Explanation:f(x)=2x+72x+7=0
2x=−7           x=−7/2
x = −7/2 is a zero polynomial of the polynomial f(x).



What is the degree of the polynomial 3x2+2x?
a) 0      
b) 1                  
c)½      
d)2

d

The degree of the constant polynomial is…
a)0       
b) 1                  
c) 2      
d) 3

a

Explanation:The degree of the constant polynomial is 0. For example, 3 is a constant polynomial that is equal to 3x0, and its degree is 0.



One of the linear factors of 3x2+8x+5 is
a)(x+1)                                    
b) (x-2)
c) (x+2)                                    
d) (x-4)

a

Explanation:3x2+8x+5 = 3x2+ 3x+5x+5 
3x2+8x+5 = 3x(x+1)+5(x+1)
3x2+8x+5 = (3x+5)(x+1)
Therefore, (x+1) is one of the factors of 3x2+8x+5.

a) 2      
b)6                   
c) -2     
d) 7

b

Explanation:The coefficient of x in 7x2+6x-2 is 6. Because the number multiplied by x is 6.
