Class 10 Maths Formula Chapter 2

The document discusses polynomials and their properties. It defines a polynomial expression as an algebraic expression with terms of decreasing powers of a variable x and constant coefficients. It notes that the zeros of a polynomial are the points where its graph intersects the x-axis in the Cartesian plane. The document also discusses the relationship between the coefficients of a polynomial and its zeros, how to form a polynomial given its zeros, and the division algorithm for polynomials.

CHAPTER – 2

POLYNOMIAL EXPRESSIONS

A polynomial expression S(x) in one variable x is an algebraic expression in x term as

S  x   an xn  an1xn1  an2 xn2  ............  ax  a0

Where an , an1,.......a, a0 are constant and real numbers and an is not equal to zero.

Some Important points to Note:

Important Concepts on Polynomial:

Geometric Meaning of the Zeroes of the Polynomial:
Let’s us assume
Y= p (x) where p(x) is the polynomial of any form.
Now we can plot the equation y=p(x) on the Cartesian plane by taking various values of x
and y obtained by purring the values. The plot or graph obtained can be of any shapes.
The zeroes of the polynomial are the points where the graph meet x axis in the Cartesian
plane. If the graph does not meet x axis, then the polynomial does not have any zero’s.
Let us take some useful polynomial and shapes obtained on the Cartesian plane

Division algorithm for polynomial:
Let’s p(x) and q(x) are any two polynomial with q(x)0, then we can find polynomial s(x)
and r(x) such that
P(x) = s(x) q(x) + r(x)
Where r(x) can be zero or degree of r(x) < degree of g(x)

Dividend = Quotient  Divisor + Remainder
