I suspect you may be having some difficulty with function notation, so here is a little tutorial:
, , , and the like are used to represent functions. means "the value of the function at " So for your first example, , , , , and so on. Furthermore, if , then is a zero of the function. Your job is to find that value of for each of your functions so that .
The process is to set the function statement equal to zero and then solve for the variable, thus (for your problem 1):
Add to both sides:
So, if then , therefore is a zero of
Using this method, you should be able to handle the other three problems.
