Þ Any algebraic expression having non zero integral power (whole number) is called polynomial.
Þ If p(x) is a polynomial in x, the highest power of x in p(x) is called the degree of the polynomial p(x).
Þ A polynomial of degree 1 is called a linear polynomial. For example, 2x – 3, √3x+1,y +√3
Þ A polynomial of degree 2 is called a quadratic polynomial. The name ‘quadratic’ has been derived from the word ‘quadrate’, which means ‘square’. 2x2 + 3x + 2 ,y2 + 2
Þ Any quadratic polynomial in x is of the form ax2 + bx + c, where a, b, c are real numbers and a ≠ 0.
Þ A polynomial of degree 3 is called a cubic polynomial e.g. 2 – x3, x3, √2 x3.
Þ General form of a cubic polynomial is ax3 + bx2 + c x + d, where, a, b, c, d are real numbers and a ≠ 0.
Þ If p(x) is a polynomial in x, and if k is any real number, then the value obtained by replacing x by k in p(x), is called the value of p(x) at x = k, and is denoted by p(k). A real number k is said to be a zero of a polynomial p(x), if p (k) = 0.
Þ Thus, the zero of a linear polynomial is related to its coefficients because if k is a zero of p(x) = ax + b, then p (k) = a k + b = 0, i.e., k = -b/a
Þ Zero of a linear polynomial ax + b is −b/a
ÞThe graph of y = ax + b is a straight line like the graph of y = ax + b is a straight line passing through the points (– 2, –1) and (2, 7) and straight line straight line intersects the x-axis at exactly one point
ÞThe linear polynomial ax + b, a ≠ 0, has exactly one zero, namely, the x-coordinate of the point (-b/a , 0) where the graph of y = ax + b intersects the x-axis.
Þ The graph of equation y = ax+ + b x + c has one of the two shapes either open upwards like È (a > 0 ) or open downwards like Ç ( a < 0) . These curves are called parabolas.
Þ The zeroes of a quadratic polynomial ax2 + bx + c, a ≠ 0, are precisely the x-coordinates of the points where the parabola representing y = ax2 + bx + c intersects the x-axis.
Þ In general, given a polynomial p(x) of degree n, the graph of y = p(x) intersects the x- axis at atmost n[n or less than n] points.
Þ A polynomial p(x) of degree n has at most n zeroes.
Þ if α and β are the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial p(x) = ax2 + b x + c, a ≠ 0, then you know that x – α and x – β are the factors of p(x).
Therefore, ax2 + bx + c = a(x – α) (x – β)= ax2 – a(α + β)x + a α β]
Comparing the coefficients of x2, x and constant terms on both the sides, we get , a = k, b = – k(α + β) and c = kαβ.
This gives
α + β = -b/a ; α β = c/a
Þ Relationship between the zeroes of a cubic polynomial and its coefficients of
ax3 + bx2 + c x + d= a(x-a)(x-b)(x-g) = ax3 – a(a+b+g)x2 + a(ab +bg+ga) - aabg
Comparing the coefficients of terms on both the sides, we get, α + β + γ = –b/a; α β + β γ + γ α =c/a; α β γ =– d/a
Þ Division algorithm states that given any polynomial p(x) and any non-zero polynomial g(x), there are polynomials q(x) and r(x) such that p(x) = g(x) q(x) + r(x), where r(x) = 0 or degree r(x) < degree g(x).
