1 and 2 are the zeros of the polynomial p(x) = (x - 1) (x - 2)

Verify that :- 1 and 2 are the zeros of the polynomial p(x) = (x - 1) (x - 2)

1 and 2 are zeros of polynomial means that if the value is substituted for x then the equation turns zero. 

So let's prove using x = 1, first 

\[p(x)=(x-1)(x-2)\]\[p(x)=(1-1)(1-2)\]\[p(x)=(0)(-1)\]\[p(x)=(0)\]

Since the equation turns to be zero, 1 is the zero of the polynomial. 

Now let's take x = 2 

Since the equation turns to be zero, 2 is also the zero of the polynomial. 

Hence Verified !! 

Hope it helps !!
