POLYNOMIALS
IMPORTANT FORMULAS & CONCEPTS
An algebraic expression of the form p(x) = ao + ajx + azx + asx ..a,x", where a 0, is
called a polynomial in variable x of degree n.
Here, ao, aj, a2, a3, ..,a, are real numbers and each power of x is a non-negative integer.
e.g. 3x´ - 5x + 2 is a polynomial of degree 2.
3/x+ 2 is not a polymomial.
> If p(x) is a polynomial in x, the highest power of x in p() is called the degree of the polynomial
p(). For example, 4x + 2 is a polynomial in the variable x of degree 1, 2 - 3y + 4 is a
polynomial in the variable y of degree 2,

A polynomial of degree 0 is called a constant polynomial.

* Apolynomial p(x) = ax +bof degree 1is called a linear polynomial.
& Apolynomial p(x) = ax + bx + cof degree 2 is called a quadratic polynomial.
Apolynomial p(x) = ax' + bx +Cx +d of degree3 is called a cubic polynomial.
3 A polynomial p(x) = ax' + bx + cx* + dx + e of degree 4 is called a bi-quadratic polynomial.
VALUE OF A POLYNOMIAL ATAGIVEN POINTx= k
If p) is a polynomial in x, and if k is any real number, then the value obtained by replacing x byk
in p(), is called the value of p()at x= k, and is denoted by p().
ZERO OF A POLYNOMIAL
A real number k is said to be a zero of a poBynomial p(x), if p() = 0.
Geometrically, the zeroes of a polynomial p() are precisely the x-coordinates of the points,
where the graph of y=pl) intersects the x -axis.
& A quadratic polynomial can have at most 2 zeroes and a cubic polynomial can have at most 3
zeroes.

In general, a polynomial of degree 'n' has at the most 'n' zeroes.

i.e. x - (Sum of zeroes)x + (Product of zeroes)
3 A cubic polynomial whose zeroes are a,ß and y is given by
p() = *-(a +ß+r)*+ (aß +By+ ya) X-aßy
The zeroes of aquadratic polynomial ax + bx+ c, a 0, are precisely the x-coordinates of the points
where the parabola representing y = ax + bx+ cintersects the xaxis.

In fact, for any quadratic polynomial ax + bx + c, a#0, the graph of the corresponding equation y=
ax + bx + c has one of the two shapes either open upwards like U or open downwards like
Ndepending on whether a > 0 or a < 0. (These curves are called parabolas.)
The following three cases can be happen about the graph of quadratic polynomial ax' + bx + c:
Case (i) : Here, the graph cuts xaxis at two distinct points A and A. The x-coordinates of A and A'
are the two zeroes of the quadratic polynomial ax + bx + cin this case

() (i)
a >0 a <0
Case (ii) :Here, the graph cuts the xaxis at exactly one point, ie., at two coincident points. So, the
two points A and A' of Case (i) coincide here to become one point A. The x-coordinate ofA is the
only zero for the quadratic polynomial ax + bx + cin this case.

(i) (ii)
a >0 a <0
Case (iii) : Here, the graph is either completely above the x-axis or completely below the xaxis. So,
it does not cut the x-axis at any point. So, the quadratic polynomial ax + bx + c has no zero in this
case.

(i) (ii)
a >0 a<0

DIVISION ALGORITHM FOR POLYNOMIALS

If pl) and g() are any two polynomials with g(a) +0, then we can find polynomials q() and r(a)
such that pl) = g) x g() + r).
where r(x) =0 or degree of r() <degree of ga).
3 If r(x) = 0, then g(x) is a factor of p(x).
Dividend =Divisor x Quotient + Remainder
