Polynomial:- An algebraic expression in which the exponent of the variable is a whole number is called  a polynomial.

Example : 4x⁴ - 3x³ + 4x² - 5x + 2

All exponents of the variable are whole number, so it is a polynomial

Highest exponent = 4,

Degree = 4  

Coefficient of x⁴ = 4,   Coefficient of x³ = - 3

Coefficient of x² = 4,   Coefficient of x = - 5

Constant Term = 2

Types of polynomial On the basis of terms:-

Monomial:- Polynomial having one term. Eg.  4x²

Binomial:-   Polynomial having two terms. Eg.   4x² + 6x

Trinomial:- Polynomial having three terms. Eg.   4x² + 6x + 5

Quadrinomial:-Polynomial having four terms. Eg.   4x³ + 6x² + 5x + 2

Degree of a Polynomial:

In a polynomial highest exponent of the variable is called its degree.
Example :
Let P(x)= 2x⁴ - 3x³ + 4x² - 2x + 1 is any polynomial
Highest exponent of the variable = 4
So its degree = 4

Types of polynomial  On the basis of degree:-

Constant Polynomial:-
A polynomial of degree zero is called constant polynomial 
For Example:-  3, 5

3 can be written as 3x⁰ , 

Here exponent (power) of x is zero, so its degree is "0" 

Linear Polynomial:-
Polynomial of degree one is called linear polynomial. 
For Example:- P(x)=  ax + b

Quadratic Polynomial:-
Polynomial of degree two  is called Quadratic polynomial.  
For Example:-  P(x)= ax² + bx + c

Cubic Polynomial:-
Polynomial of degree three  is called cubic polynomial.   
For Example:- P(x) = ax³ + bx² + cx + d

Bi-Quadratic Polynomial:-
Polynomial of degree four  is called linear polynomial. 
For Example:- P(x) = ax⁴ + bx³ + cx² + dx + e

Zero polynomial:- 
A polynomial with coefficient zero is called zero polynomial.

Zero polynomial can be written as: 0 = 0x² or 0 = 0x⁵ , 0 = 0x¹⁰ 

It means the degree of a zero polynomial is not fixed. So we can say the degree of a zero polynomial is not defined.      

Note:- Degree of zero polynomial is not defined.

Zeroes of polynomial:- 
Solutions of a polynomial are called its zeroes.

Values of x for which the given polynomial become zero are called the zeroes of the polynomial.

Note:- Number of zeroes of a polynomial is equal to the degree of that polynomial.

For Example:- A linear polynomial has one zero,  Quadratic polynomial has two zeroes, Cubic polynomial has three zeroes  and so on.

Graphically:

No. of zeroes of a polynomial = No. of times the graph of that polynomial intersect the x-axis.

 

Above graph intersect the x-axis at three points so this polynomial have three zeroes.

Above graph intersect the x-axis at three points so this polynomial have three zeroes.

Graph of a Quadratic Polynomial

Graph of a quadratic polynomial is a parabola, which is either upward parabola or downward parabola.

Upward parabola: Graph of a quadratic polynomial of the type P(x)= ax² + bx + c is called upward parabola. because here the coefficient of x² is positive.

Downward parabola: Graph of a quadratic polynomial of the type P(x)= - ax² + bx + c is called downward parabola. because here the coefficient of x² is negative.

Difference between Quadratic Polynomial and quadratic equations

Quadratic Polynomial	Quadratic Equation
Quadratic Polynomial can be written as: P(x) = ax2 + bx + c	Quadratic Equation can be written as :-  ax2 + bx + c = 0
Solution of quadratic polynomials are called its zeroes.	Solution of quadratic equations are called its roots.

Remainder Theorem

If any polynomial P(x) is divided by any polynomial x + 5 (say), then P(- 5) becomes the remainder.

Factor Theorem

If any polynomial P(x) is divided by any polynomial x + 5 (say), and  P(- 5) becomes = 0, then x + 5 is called the factor of P(x)

SPECIFIC TOPIC FOR CLASS X ONLY

Relationship between zeroes and coefficients of a quadratic polynomial:-

Quadratic polynomial is given by    P(x) = ax² + bx + c

If α and β are the zeroes of quadratic polynomial then

Division Algorithm:-

            Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder  or

                    p(x) = g(x) x q(x) + r(x)

Operations on Polynomials

Addition of two polynomials

Example:

Add: 2x⁴ + 3x² - 4x + 5 and 3x⁴ - 5x³ + 8x – 7

In place of and  use ‘+’ sign we get

(2x⁴ + 3x² - 4x + 5) + (3x⁴ - 5x³ + 8x – 7)

Collect the like terms with same degree

(2x⁴ + 3x⁴) + (- 5x³) + (3x²) + (- 4x +8x ) + (5 – 7)

5 x⁴ - 5x³ + 3x² + 4x + (-2)

5 x⁴ - 5x³ + 3x² + 4x - 2

Subtraction of two polynomials

Example: Subtract :  3x² + 4x from 5x³ + 2x² – 1

First write the polynomial after from then ‘_’ sign and then first polynomial

(5x³ + 2x² – 1) – (3x² + 4x )

Open the brackets and change the sign of the polynomial which is after the negative sign

5x³ + 2x² – 1 - 3x² - 4x

Now collect the like terms and apply the operation according to the sign

5x³ + (2x² - 3x²) – 4x – 1

5x³ + (- x²) – 4x – 1

5x³ + - x² – 4x – 1

Multiplication of two polynomials

Example : Multiply  (2x + 3)(7x - 4)

2x(7x - 4) + 3(7x - 4)

14 x² – 8x + 21x -12

14 x² + 13x -12

Deleted Topics from the CBSE Syllabus

Relationship between zeroes and coefficients of a Cubic polynomial:-  

Cubic polynomial is given by     P(x) = ax³ + bx² + cx + d = 0

If α, β and 𝜸 are the zeroes of cubic polynomial then

\[Sum \: of\: zeroes\: (\alpha +\beta+\gamma )=\frac{-\left ( coefficient\:of\:x^{2}\right )}{coefficient\: of\: x^{3}}=\frac{-b}{a}\]
\[Sum\; of\; Product\; of\; zeroes\; taken\; two \: at\: a\: time\:(\alpha \beta+\beta \gamma +\gamma \alpha )=\frac{coefficient\: of\: x}{coefficient \: of\: x^{3}} =\frac{c}{a}\]

\[Product \: of\: zeroes\: (\alpha \beta\gamma )=\frac{constantt\: term}{coefficient \: of\: x^{3}} =\frac{-d}{a}\]
