A.A value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero
B.The coefficient of the leading term of the polynomial
C.A coefficient of the polynomial that is equal to zero
D.The value of the polynomial when zero is substituted for the variable

Answer 1

Answer is A.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Root of a polynomial also known as zero of polynomial which means to find the root of polynomial we can set up the polynomial equal to zero to get the value ( root) of the variable.

In other words roots of a polynomial function is the number, when you will plug into the polynomial, it will make the polynomial zero.

Hence the correct choice is A: A value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero .
