Question

The zeroes of the polynomial \( x^2 - 13 \) are:

• A. \( 13, -13 \)
• B. \( 13, -\sqrt{13} \)
• C. \( \sqrt{13}, -\sqrt{13} \)
• D. \( \sqrt{13}, 13 \)

Hint:

To find the zeroes of a polynomial, set the polynomial equal to zero and solve for \( x \).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To find the zeroes of \( x^2 - 13 \), set the polynomial equal to 0: \[ x^2 - 13 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x^2 = 13 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = \pm \sqrt{13}. \] Thus, the zeroes of the polynomial are \( \boxed{\sqrt{13}, -\sqrt{13}} \).
