Polynomial Expressions

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


as

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

Some Important point to Note

S.no Points

1 an ,an-1 ,an-2 ,…..a1,a0 are called the coefficients for xn,xn-1 ,…..x1,x0

2 n is called the degree of the polynomial

3 when an ,an-1 ,an-2 ,…..a1,a0 all are zero, it is called zero polynomial

4 A constant polynomial is the polynomial with zero degree, it is a constant


value polynomial

5 A polynomial of one item is called monomial, two items binomial and three
items as trinomial

6 A polynomial of one degree is called linear polynomial, two degree as


quadratic polynomial and degree three as cubic polynomial

Concept Description

Zero’s or roots It is a solution to the polynomial equation S(x)=0 i.e. a number


of the "a" is said to be a zero of a polynomial if S(a) = 0.
polynomial If we draw the graph of S(x) =0, the values where the curve
cuts the X-axis are called Zeros of the polynomial

Remainder If p(x) is an polynomial of degree greater than or equal to 1


Theorem’s and p(x) is divided by the expression (x-a),then the remainder
will be p(a)

Factor’s If x-a is a factor of polynomial p(x) then p(a)=0 or if p(a)


Theorem’s =0,x-a is the factor the polynomial p(x)
