POLYNOMIALS
 POLYNOMIAL : An algebraic expression of the form
n-1 n-2 1 0
p(x) = anxn + an-1x + an-2x + …… + a1x + a0x
where a0 ≠ 0 and a0, a1, a2 ....an are real numbers and each power of x is a positive integer is called a

polynomial.
n n-1 0 n-1 n-2
Hence, an, an-1, an-2, are coefficient of x , x …….. x and anxn, an-1x ,an-2x are terms of the polynomial.

n n-1

 TYPES OF POLYNOMIALS
Generally we divided the polynomials in two categories.

Types of polynomials

Bases no number of terms Based on degree

(A) BASED ON NUMBER OF TERMS :- These are follows :

(a) Monomial : Polynomials having only one term are called monomials. (‘Mono’ means ‘one’)
2x, 5x2, -5x2, y, u4
(b) Binomial : A polynomial of two terms is called binomial.
30
p(x) = x+ 1, q(x) = x2, r(q) = y + 1
(c) Trinomial : A polynomial of three terms is called a trinomial.
p(x) = n + x2 + π

q(x) = 2 + x + x2
(B) BASED ON DEGREE :-
Degree of Polynomials : The highest power of variable in a polynomial is known as it degree.
For example :
(a) p(y) = 2y2 - 3y + 7 is a polynomial in the variable y of degree 2.

(b) q(x) = 2 x + 13x4 + 5x6 is a polynomial in variable x of degree 6.

 PRAYAS Education

(i) Linear Polynomial : A polynomial of degree one is called a linear polynomial.

Ex. p(x) = 4x + 5
q(y) = 2y

r(t) = t + 2
s(u) = 3 - u
(ii) Quadratic Polynomial : A polynomial of degree two is called a quadratic polynomial.
Ex. 2x2 + 5
5x2 + 3x + π
2
x2 + x
5
(iii) Cubic Polynomial : A polynomial of degree three is called a cubic polynomial.
Ex. 4x2 . 2x3 + 1, 5x3 + x2
2x3 + 4x2 + 6x + 7
(vi) Biquadrate polynomial : A polynomial of fourth degree is called a biquadrate polynomial.
Ex. 4x4 + 2x3 + 5x2 + x + 1

Type of Polynoials Degree Expression

(i) Constant polynomials Zero F(x) = c, {(x) = 0, is zero polynomial [Degree not defined]
(ii) Linear polynomials 1 F(x) = ax + b, a ≠ 0
F(x) = ax + bx + c, a ≠ 0
2
(iii) Quadritic polynomials 2
F(x) = ax + bx + cx + d a ≠ 0
3 2
(iv) Cubic polynomials 3
F(x) = ax + bx + cx + dx + e, a ≠ 0
4 3 2
(v) Bi-quadratic polynomials 4

 VALUE OF POLYNOMIALS :
If p(x) is a polynomial in variable and α is any real number, then the value obtained by replacing x by α in
p(x) is called value of p(x) at = α and is denoted by p( α ).
For example : Find the value of p(x) = x3 - 6 x2 + 11x - 6 at x = -2
⇒ p(-2) = (-2)3 - 6 (-2)2 + 11(-2) -6 = -8 -24 - 22 - 6
⇒ p(-2) = - 60

 ZERO OF POLYNOMIALS :
A real number α is a zero of the polynomial p(x) if p( α ) = 0

Ex: p(x) = x3 - 6x2 + 11x - 6

p(1) = (1)3 - 6(1)2 + 11(1) - 6 = 1 - 6 + 11 - 6 = 0
p(2) = (2)3 - 6(2)2 + 11(2) - 6 = 8 - 24 + 22 - 6 = 0
p(3) = (3)3 - 6(3)2 + 11(3) - 6 = 27 - 54 + 33 - 6 = 0
Thus, 1,2 and 3 are called the zeros of polynomial p(x).
 PRAYAS Education

 REMAINDER THEOREM :
If p(x) is any polynomial of degree greater than or equal to 1 and α be any real number. If p(x) is divided by
x-a. then the remainder is equal to p(a).
Dividend = Divisor × quotient + Remainder
Ex.1 Find the remainder when the polynomial
f (x) = 2x4 - 6x3 + 2x2 - x + 2 is divided by x + 2.
Sol. We have , (x + 2) = 0 ⇒ x = - 2.

So, by remainder theorem, when f(x) is divided by (x + 2) = 0 ⇒ x = - 2 the remainder is equal to f (-2).
• f(x) = 2x4 - 6x3 + 2x2 - x + 2
• f(-2) = 2(-2)4 - 6(-2)3 + 2(-2)2 - (-2) + 2
• f(-2) = 2 × 16 - 6 × - 8 + 2 × 4 + 2 + 2
= 32 + 48 + 8 + 2 + 2 = 92
Required remainder = 92
Ex.2 Divide the polynomial 3x4 - 4x3 - 3x - 1 by (x - 1)
Sol. By long division

3x 3 − x 2 − x − 4
x − 1 3x 4 − 4 x 3 − 3x − 1
3x 4 − 3x 3
− 4

− x 3 − 3x − 1
− x3 +x2
+ −

− x 2 − 3x − 1
− x2 + x
+ −
−4 x − 1
− 4x + 4
+ 1
-5
Here, the remainder is -5. Now, the zero of (x - 1) is 1. So, putting x = 1 is p(x), we see that p(1) = 3(1)4 -
4(1)3 -3(1) - 1
=3-4-3-1
= - 5, which is the remainder.
 FACTOR THEOREM :
If p(x) is polynomial of degree n ≥ 1 and α is any real number, then (i) x - a is a factor of p(x), if p(a) = 0
and (ii) p(a) = 0 if x - is a factor of p(x).
Proof : By the remainder theorem, p(x) = (x - a) (x) + p(a).
(i) If p(a) = 0, then p(x) = (x - a) q(x), which shows that x - a is a factor of p(x).
(ii) Since x - a is a factor of p(x), p(x) = (x - a) g(x) for same polynomial g(x). In this case, p(a) = (a - a) g(a)
= 0.

Ex-1 Using factor theorem, show that (x - 1) is a factor of 2x4 + 9x3 + 6x2 - 11x - 6
Sol. Let f(x) = 2x4 + 9x3 + 6x2 - 11x -6
By factor theorem, (x - 1), x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1 will be factor of f(x), if f(1) = 0.
Now, f(x) = 2x4 + 9x3 + 6x2 - 11x - 6

⇒ f(1) = 2 × 14 + 9 × 13 + 6 × 12 - 11 × 1 - 6 = 2 + 9 6 - 11 - 6 = 0
⇒ (x - 1) is factor of f(x).
Hence, (x - 1) is a factor of the given polynomial.

Ex.2 Determine the value of a for which the polynomial 2x4 - ax3 - 4x2 + 2x + 1 is divisible by 1 - 2x.
Sol. Let p(x) = 2x4 - ax3 - ax2 + 2x + 1. If the polynomial z p(x) is divisible by (1 - 2x), then (1 - 2x) is a factor of
p(x).

Hence, the given polynomial will be divisible by 1 - 2x, if a = 25.

 TYPE OF FACTORIZATION :-
(i) Factorization by taking out the common factors
Ex. ab(a2 + b2 - c2 ) + bc (a2 + b2 - c2) - ca(a2 + b2 - c2)
Sol. We have
ab(a2 + b2 - c2) + bc (a2 + b2 - c2) - ca(a2 + b2 - c2)
= (a2 + b2 - c2) (ab + bc - ca)

(ii) Factorization by grouping the terms

Ex. (x2 + 3x)2 - 5(x2 + 3x) - y(x2 + 3x) + 5y
Sol. We have
(x2 + 3x)2 - 5(x2 + 3x) - y(x2 + 3x) + 5y
= (x2 + 3x) {(x2 + 3x) -5} - y{(x2 + 3x) -5} = (x2 + 3x - 5) (x2 + 3x - y)
 PRAYAS Education

(iii) Factorization by making a perfect square

Ex. a2 + b2 - 2(ab - ac + bc)
Sol. We have
a2 + b2 - 2(ab - ac + bc)
= a2 + b2 - 2ab + 2ac - 2bc
= (a - b)2 + 2c (a - b)
= (a - b) {(a - b) + 2c} = (a - b) (a - b + 2c)

(iv) Factorization the difference of two squares

Ex. x8 - y8
Sol. We have
x8 - y8 = {(x4)2 - (y4)2} = (x4 - y4) (x4 + y4)
= {(x2)2 - (y2)2 (x4 + y4) = (x2 - y2) (x2 + y2) (x4 + y4)
= (x - y) (x + y) (x2 + y2) (x4 + y4)
= (x - y) (x + y) (x2 + y2) {( x2)2 + (y2)2 + 2x2y2 - 2x2y2)

= 9x - y) (x + y) (x2 + y2) {(x2 + y2)2 - ( 2 xy)2}

= 9x - y) (x + y) (x2 + y2) (x2 + y2 - 2 xy) (x2 + y2 + 2 xy)

(v) Factorization of quadratic polynomials by splitting the middle term

Ex. x2 + 3 3 x - 30

Sol. In order to factorize x2 + 3 3 x - 30, we have to find two numbers p and q such that p + q = 3 3 and pq = -

30. Clearly, 5 3 + (-2 3 ) = 3 3 and 5 3 × -2 3 = - 30

So. we write the middle term 3 3x as 5 3x -2 3x

∴ x2 + 3 3x - 30

= x2 + 5 3x - 2 3x - 30

= (x2 + 5 3x ) -( 2 3x + 30)

= (x2 + 5 3x ) ( 2 3x + 10 3 × 3)

= x(x + 5 3 ) -2 3 (x + 5 3 ) = (x + 5 3 ) (x - 2 3 )

LINEAER EQUATIONS IN TWO VARIABLES

 EQUATIONS : A statement of equality of two algebraic expressions which involve one or more unknown
quantity is known as an equation. Example : 2x - 5 = 23.
An equation has two parts. The part which is on the left side to the quality sign is known as left hand side
(L.H.S.) and the part which is not the right side to the equality sign is known as right hand side (R.H.S.)
Equality
Consider an equation → 2x – 5 = 23
L.H.S. R.H.S.
VARIABLE : The unknown quantities used in any equation are known as variables. Generally, they are
denoted by the last English alphabets x, y, z etc.
 LINEAR EQUATION : An equation in which the maximum power of variable is one is called a linear
equation.
 LINEAR EQUATION IN ONE VARIABLE :- An equation of the form ax + b = 0. where x is variable, a.b. are
real numbers and a ≠ 0 is called Linear equation in one variable.
SOLUTION : Any value of the variable that satisfies the given equation is called a solution or roots of the
equation.
Ex. Solve : 3x + 2 = 11
Sol. 3x + 2 = 11
9
⇒ 3x = 11 - 2 ⇒ 3x = 9 ⇒ x = =3

 LINEAR EQUATIONS IN TWO VARIABLES :

DEFINIATION : An equation of the form ax + by + c = 0, where a,b,c are real number, a ≠ 0, b ≠ 0 and x.
SOLUTION : Let ax + by + c = 0, where a,b,c are real number such that a ≠ 0 & b ≠ 0 then any pair of
values of x & y which satisfies the equation ax + by + c = 0 is called a solution of it.

Notes : (i) Solution of a linear equation is written as ordered pair (α, β)

(ii) Any equation in two variable has at least two solution.
(iii) A linear equation in to variable at least two solution.
Ex. Show that (x = 1, y = 1) is a solution of 4x - y - 3 = 0.
Sol. If we put x = 1 and y = 1 in the given equation.
we have L.H.S. = 4 × 1 - 1 - 3 = 0 = R.H.S.
so, x = 1, y = 1 is a solution of 4x - y - 3 = 0
Ex. Which of the following equations have a unique solution or infinitely many solutions.
y
(i) x + 1 = 16 (ii) y = 3x + 2 (iii) =2
x
Sol. (i) The given equation is x + 1 = 16
⇒ x=6-1⇒x=5
⇒ x + 0.y - 5 =0, ....(i)
which is linear equation is one variable.
Hence, equation (i) has unique solution
 PRAYAS Education

(ii) The given equation is y = 3x + 2

∴ 3x + (-1)y + 2 = 0 ....(ii)
which is linear equation in to variable.
Hence, equation (ii) has infinitely many solution
y
(iii) The given equation is =2
x
∴ 2x - y = 0
⇒ 2x + (-1) y + 0 = 0 ….(iii)
which is linear equation in two variable.
Hence, equation (iii) has infinitely many solution

(A) GRAPH OF A LINEAR EQUATION IN ONE VARIABLES :

In order to draw the graph of linear equation in one variable we may follow the following algorithm.
Step-I : Obtain the linear equation.
b  b 
Step-II : If the equation is of the form ax = b, a ≠ 0 then plot the point  ,0  and one more point  , α  , where
 a  a 
α is any real number on the graph paper. If the equation is of the form ay = b, a ≠ 0, then plot the point
 b  b
 0,  and  β,  , where β is any real number on the graph paper.
 a  a
Step-III: Join the points potted in step-II to obtained the required line:-
Remark I : If in the linear equation ax = b, a ≠ 0 and we have b = 0, then its graph is x - axis.
Ex. Draw the graph of the following linear equation x - 2 = 0.
Sol. We have x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
Clearly, it does not contain y, so its graph is a line parallel of y axis passing through the point (2, 0). In fact it
passes through every point whose x-co-ordinate is 2. Thus we have the following table exhibiting the co-
ordinates of points on the line represented by x = 0.

x 2 2 2

y 0 4 -1

Plotting any two point say (2, 0), (2, 4) and (2, -1) given by the above table on the graph paper and joining
them we obtain the straight as shown fig.

(B) GRAPH OF A LINEAR EQUATION IN TWO VARIABLE, WHERE a ≠ 0, b ≠ 0:

In order to draw the graph of a linear equation ax + by + c = 0, a ≠ 0, b ≠ 0, we may follow the following
algorithm.
Step-I : Obtain the linear equation let the equation be ax + by + c = 0.

 ax + c 
Step-II : Express y in terms of x to obtain y = -  .
 b 
Step-III : Put any two or three values of a x and calculate the corresponding value of y from the
expression in step-II to obtain two solution say α1, β1 and (α 2 , β2 ) if possible take value of x as integers in

such a manner that the corresponding value of y are also integers.

Step-IV : Plot points (α1, β1 ) and (α 2 , β2 ) .

Step-V : Join the points marked in step IV to obtain a line.

The line obtained is the graph of the equation ax + by + c = 0.
Ex. Draw the graph of the following equation y - x = 2.
Sol. We have,
y-x=2
y=x+2
when x = 1, y = 1 + 2 = 3
when x = 2, y = 2 + 2 = 4
when x = 3, y = 3 + 2 = 5
Thus we have the following table exhibiting the abscissa and ordinates of points on the line represented by
the given equation.

x 1 2 3
y 3 4 5

Plotting the points (1, 3), (2, 4) and (3, 5) on the graph paper and drawing the line joining them we obtain
the graph of the line represented by the given equation as shown fig.

 DIFFERENT FORMS OF A LINE :-

Slope of a line :
If la line makes an angle θ with positive direction of x-axis then tangent of this angle is called the slope of a
line, it is denoted by m i.e. m = tan θ .
The equation of a line passing through origin is y = mx. Here c = 0 then the line passes always from origin
m is called the slope of the line.
