The root of the polynomial equation 3x – 1 = 0 is (1) x = -1/3 (2) x = 1/3 (3) x = 1 (4) x = 3

Question

The root of the polynomial equation 3x – 1 = 0 is

(1) x = \(-\frac{1}{3}\)

(2) x = \(\frac{1}{3}\)

(3) x = 1

(4) x = 3

Answer 1

(2) x = \(\frac{1}{3}\)

x = \(\frac{1}{3}\) gives 3(\(\frac{1}{3}\)) - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0
