Polynomials

1. What is a polynomial?

A polynomial p(x) in one variable x is an algebraic expression in x of the form P(x) = anxn
+ an-1xn -1 + an-2xn-2 + ………….. + a2x2 + a1x + a0, where x is a variable
i. a0, a1, a2 ......na are res pectively the coefficients of x0, x1, x2, x3, …… xn.
ii. Each of anxn, an-1 xn-1, an-2xn-2, ……… a2x2, a1x, a0, with an ≠ 0, is called the term of a
polynomial.

2. The highest exponent of the variable in a polynomial determines the degree of the
polynomial.

3. Polynomials are algebraic expressions that consist of variables and coefficients.

Variables are also sometimes called indeterminates. We can perform arithmetic
operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and also positive integer
exponents for polynomial expressions but not division by variable. An example of a
polynomial with one variable is x2 + x - 12. In this example, there are three terms: x2, x
and -12.

The word polynomial is derived from the Greek words ‘poly’ means ‘many‘ and
‘nominal’ means ‘terms‘, so altogether it said “many terms”. A polynomial can have any
number of terms but not infinite. Learn about degree, terms, types, properties,
polynomial functions in this article.

4. Types of polynomials

ii. A polynomial of degree one is called a linear polynomial. It is of the form ax + b.

Examples: x – 2, 4y + 89, 3x – z.
iii. A polynomial of degree two is called a quadratic polynomial. It is of the form ax2 +
bx + c, where a, b, c are real numbers and a ≠ 0.
Examples: x2 - 2x + 5, x2 – 3x etc.
iv. A polynomial of degree 3 is called a cubic polynomial and has the general form
ax3 + bx2 + cx +d.

For example: x3 + 2x2 - 2x + 5 etc.

Monomial: A monomial is an expression which contains only one term. For an
expression to be a monomial, the single term should be a non-zero term. A few
examples of monomials are:
• 5x
• 3
• 6a4
• -3xy
Binomial: A binomial is a polynomial expression which contains exactly two terms. A
binomial can be considered as a sum or difference between two or more monomials. A
few examples of binomials are:
• - 5x + 3,
• 6a4 + 17x
• xy2 + xy
Trinomial
A trinomial is an expression which is composed of exactly three terms. A few examples
of trinomial expressions are:
• - 8a4 + 2x + 7
• 4x2 + 9x + 7

5. Value of the polynomial

If p(x) is a polynomial in x, and k is a real number then the value obtained after
replacing x by k in p(x) is called the value of p(x) at x = k which is denoted by p(k).

6. Zero of a polynomial

• A real number k is said to be the zero of the polynomial p(x), if p(k) = 0.

• Zeroes of the polynomial can be obtained by solving the equation p(x) = 0.

(2)
 POLYNOMIALS
02

• It is possible that a polynomial may not have a real zero at all.

• For any linear polynomial ax + b, the zero is given by the expression (-b/a) = -
(constant term)/(Coefficient of x).

7. Number of zeroes of a polynomial

• The number of real zeros of the polynomial is the number of times its graph
touches or intersects x- axis.
• The graph of a polynomial p(x) of degree n intersects or touches the x-axis at at
most n points.
• A polynomial of degree n has at most n distinct real zeroes.

8. A linear polynomial has at most one real zero.

Linear Polynomial having no zero.

i. For a linear polynomial ax + b, a ≠ 0, the zero is x = . It can be observed that:
a
−b constant term
=−
a Coefficient of x
ii. For a quadratic polynomial ax2 + bx + c, a ≠ 0,
b Coefficient of x
Sum of the zeroes = − = −
a Coefficient of x 2

c constant term
Product of the zeroes = − =
a CCoefficient of x 2

iii. For a cubic polynomial ax3 + bx2 + cx + d = 0, a ≠ 0,

−b Coefficient of x 2
Sum of zeroes = =−
a Coefficient of x 3

c Coefficient of x
Sum of the product of zeroes taken two at a time = =
a Coefficient of x 3

d Constant term
Product of zeroes = − = −
a Coefficient of x 3

12. The quadratic polynomial whose sum of the zeroes = (𝛼 + 𝛽) and product of zeroes =
(𝛼𝛽) is given by: k [x2 - (𝛼 + 𝛽)x + (𝛼𝛽)], where k is real.
If a, b and g are the zeroes of a cubic polynomial f (x)= ax3 + bx2 + cx + d, a1 0, then
f(x) = k (x - a)(x – b) (x – g)
f (x)= k {x3 - (a + b + g )x2 + (ab + bg + ga )x - abg}, where k is any non-zero real number.

13. Process of dividing a polynomial f(x) by another polynomial g(x) is as follows:

Step 1: To obtain the first term of the quotient, divide the highest degree term of the
dividend by the highest degree term of the divisor. Then carry out the division process.
Step 2: To obtain the second term of the quotient, divide the highest degree term of the
new dividend by the highest degree term of the divisor. Then again carry out the
division process
Step 3: Continue the process till the degree of the new dividend is less that the degree
of the divisor. This will be called the remainder.

14. Division Algorithm for polynomials: If f(x) and g(x) are any two polynomials, where g(x)
≠ 0, then there exists the polynomials q(x) and r(x) such that f(x) = g(x) q(x) + r(x), where
r(x) = 0 or degree of r(x) < degree of g(x)
So, q(x) is the quotient and r(x) is the remainder obtained when the polynomial f(x) is
divided by the polynomial g(x).

15. Factor of the polynomial

(6)
 POLYNOMIALS
02

If f(x) = g(x) q(x) + r(x) and r(x) = 0, then polynomial g(x) is a factor of the polynomial
f(x).

16. Finding zeroes of a polynomial using division algorithm

Division algorithm can also be used to find the zeroes of a polynomial. For example, if
‘a’ and ‘b’ are two zeroes of a fourth degree polynomial f(x), then other two zeroes can
be found out by dividing f(x) by (x-a)(x-b).
17.Properties
Some of the important properties of polynomials along with some important polynomial
theorems are as follows:
Property 1: Division Algorithm
If a polynomial P(x) is divided by a polynomial G(x) results in quotient Q(x) with
remainder R(x), then,
P(x) = G(x) • Q(x) + R(x)
Property 2: Bezout’s Theorem
Polynomial P(x) is divisible by binomial (x – a) if and only if P(a) = 0.
Property 3: Remainder Theorem
If P(x) is divided by (x – a) with remainder r, then P(a) = r.
Property 4: Factor Theorem
A polynomial P(x) divided by Q(x) results in R(x) with zero remainders if and only if Q(x)
is a factor of P(x).
Property 5: Intermediate Value Theorem
If P(x) is a polynomial, and P(x) ≠ P(y) for (x < y), then P(x) takes every value from P(x) to
P(y) in the closed interval [x, y].
Property 6
The addition, subtraction and multiplication of polynomials P and Q result in a
polynomial where,
Degree (P ± Q) ≤ Degree (P or Q)
Degree (P × Q) = Degree (P) + Degree(Q)
Property 7
If a polynomial P is divisible by a polynomial Q, then every zero of Q is also a zero of P.
Property 8
If a polynomial P is divisible by two coprime polynomials Q and R, then it is divisible by
(Q • R).

: 8x4 + 14x3 – 2x2 + 7x – 8 – y is exactly divisible by g(x)

 POLYNOMIALS
02

∵ Remainder should be 0.

∴ 14x – 10 – y = 0 or 14x – 10 = y or y = 14x – 10

∴ (14x – 10) should be subtracted from p(x) so that it will be exactly divisible by
g(x)

7. By division algorithm, we have

f(x) = g(x) × q(x) + r(x)

= f(x) – r(x) = g(x) × q(x) ⇒ f(x) + {-r(x)} = g(x) × q(x)

Clearly, RHS is divisible by g(x). Therefore, LHS is also divisible by g(x). Thus, if
we add –r(x) to f(x), then the resulting polynomial is divisible by g(x). Let us now
find the remainder when f(x) is divided by g(x).

∴ r(x) = -61x + 65 or -r(x) = 61x – 65

Hence, we should add –r(x) = 61x – 65 to f(x) so that the resulting polynomial is
divisible by g(x).

and p(1) = (1)3 – 4(1)2 + 5(1) – 2 = 1 – 4 + 5 – 2 = 0

Hence, 2, 1 and I are the zeros of the given cubic polynomial.

Putting the value of γ = 7α in (iii), we get

7
⇒ 8 = α + ⇒ 8α = α2 + 7
𝛼

⇒ α2 – 8α + 7 = 0 ⇒ α2 – 7α – 1α + 7 = 0

⇒ α(α – 7)-1 (α – 7) = 0 ⇒ (α – 1)(α – 7) = 0

⇒ α = 1 or α = 7

i. (b) Quadratic

Solution:

Since, the given graph is parabolic is shape, therefore it will represent a quadratic
polynomial.

[∵ Graph of quadratic polynomial is parabolic in shape)

ii. (c) -1, 5

Solution:

Since, the graph cuts the x-axis at -1, 5. So the polynomial has 2 zeroes i.e., -1 and 5.

iii. (a) 4

Solution:

Sum of zeroes = -1 + 5 = 4

iv. (c) 3

Solution:

Since α and β are zeroes of the given polynomial and β > α, β > α,

∴ α = -1 ∴ α = -1 and β = 5β = 5

∴ |8α + β| = |8(-1) + 5| = | -8 + 5| = |-3| = 3.

∴|8α + β|=|8(−1)+5|=|−8+5|=|−3|=3.

v. (d) -x2 + 4x + 5

Solution:

Since the zeroes of the given polynomial are -1 and 5.

∴ Required polynomial p(x)

= k2 {x2 - (-1 + 5)x + (-1)(5)} = k(x2 - 4x - 5)

For k = -1, we get,

p(x) = -x2 + 4x + 5, which is the required polynomial.

2. Answer :

i. (b) Parabolic.

Solution:

Graph of a quadratic polynomial is a parabolic in shape.

ii. (c) x2 - 36

Solution:

Since the graph of the polynomial cuts the x-axis at (-6, 0) and ( 6, 0). So, the zeroes of
polynomial are -6 and 6.

∴ Required polynomial is

p(x) = x2 - (-6 + 6)x + (-6)(6) = x2 - 36

iii. (c) 2

Solution:

We have, p(x) = x2 - 36

Now, p(6) = 62 - 36 = 36 - 36 = 0

iv. (b) -2

Solution:

Let f(x) = x2 + 2x - 3. Then,

v. (d) −53−53

Solution:

The given polynomial is at2 + 5t + 3a

Given, sum of zeroes = product of zeroes
