Question

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

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

Hint:

For any quadratic equation \( x^2 - c = 0 \), its roots are: \[ x = \pm\sqrt{c}. \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Setting the polynomial equal to zero:
\[ x^2 - 13 = 0. \] Solving for \( x \): \[ x = \pm\sqrt{13}. \]
