Note to Students : Write Definitions and Solutions from Q 1 to Q4(all Parts), some
parts explained in Video Lectures and some are in HW. Q. No. 5 onwards would be
covered in next part.

 Value of Polynomial : If p(x) is a polynomial in x, and if ‘a’ is any real number the value
obtained by putting x = a in p(x) is called the value of p(x) at x = a and is denoted by p(a).

Example : Let p(x) = 3x + 6. Find p(2)

We have, p(x) = 3x + 6

Now put x = 2

p(2) = 3(2) + 6

p(2) = 6 + 6 = 12

 Zero of Polynomial : A real number a is a zero of the polynomial p(x) if p(x) = 0

Example : p(x) = x2 – 2x – 3, find p(3).

Put x = 3 in p(x)

p(3) = 32 – 23 – 3

p(3) = 9 – 6 – 3 = 9 – 9 = 0

Points to Remember :

(1) A zero of Polynomial need not to be zero. However, 0 may be zero of polynomial.

(2) Every linear polynomial has one zero while quadratic polynomial have two zeroes.

(3) A non zero constant polynomial has no zero while zero polynomial have infinite number
of zeroes because any real number is a zero of zero polynomial.

e.g. let’s take one constant polynomial p(x) = 5 and one zero polynomial p(y) = 0, if you

put any real number in place of variable in p(x) you never get its value zero but if you put
in p(y) then you always get zero for any real number.
