Explanation

Given,

$1.03^2 = (1+0.03)^2$ .

We know,

$(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$ .

Then,

$1.03^2 = (1+0.03)^2$

$=1^2+(0.03)^2+2\times 1\times 0.03$

$=1+0.0009+0.06$

$=1.0609$ .

$B$ is correct.

The zero of a polynomial

$P(x)$ is:

0%
A number $c$ such that $P(c) = 0$
0%
A number $c$ such that $P(-c) = 1$
0%
A number $c$ such that $P(c)+P(-c) = 0$
0%
none of the above

Explanation

Consider the polynomial,

$p(x) = ax^2 + bx +c$ .

To find the zero of a polynomial, we write

$p(x) = 0$ .

Hence, a real number

$c$ is said to be a zero of the polynomial

$p(x)$ , if

$p(c)=0$ .

Therefore, option

We know,

$(a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2$ .

$\therefore (a-b)(a+b)+(b-c)(b+c)+(c-a)(c+a)$

$=(a^2-b^2)+(b^2-c^2)+(c^2-a^2)$

$=a^2-b^2+b^2-c^2+c^2-a^2$

$=0$ .

Therefore, option
