State whether the following statement is true or false:
The zero of the polynomial $2x + 3$ is $\frac{3}{2}$.
The zero of the polynomial $2x + 3$ is $\frac{3}{2}$.
(B) To find the zero of the polynomial $p(x) = 2x + 3$,we set $p(x) = 0$.
$2x + 3 = 0$
$2x = -3$
$x = -\frac{3}{2}$
Since the calculated zero is $-\frac{3}{2}$ and not $\frac{3}{2}$,the given statement is False.
$2x + 3 = 0$
$2x = -3$
$x = -\frac{3}{2}$
Since the calculated zero is $-\frac{3}{2}$ and not $\frac{3}{2}$,the given statement is False.
