    The document provides solutions to exercises involving evaluating polynomials. It finds the values of various polynomials at given points, verifies whether points are zeros of polynomials, and finds the zeros of polynomials. The key results are: 1) The polynomial 5x - 4x^2 + 3 evaluates to 3, -6, and -3 at x = 0, -1, and 2 respectively. 2) Zeros of polynomials p(x) = x^2 - 1 are x = 1, -1. 3) The zero of the polynomial p(x) = x + 5 is x = -5. 4) The zero of the polynomial p(x) = cx + d is x = -d
