Explanation:
Hi there!
Zero of the polynomial is the value of "X" that gives final answer as zero.
So, as the polynomial in the second gives zero every time when we keep the zero which are given in the question. It is the answer.
Check:
• x⁴ - x³ - 16x² + 16x
Keep the value -4 as the value of X in polynomial.
= (-4)⁴-(-4)³ -16*(-4)²+16*(-4)
= 256+64-256-64
= 0
Keep the value 0 as the value of X in polynomial.
= (0)⁴-(0)³ -16*(0)²+16*(0)
= 0-0-0+0
= 0
Keep the value 1 as the value of X in polynomial.
= (1)⁴-(1)³ -16*(1)²+16*(1)
= 1-1-16+16
= 0
Keep the value 4 as the value of X in polynomial.
= (4)⁴-(4)³ -16*(4)²+16*(4)
= 256 - 64-256+64
= 0
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
Hope it helps!
