CHAPTER 2 POLYNOMIAL

• “Polynomial” comes from the word ‘Poly’ (Meaning Many) and ‘nomial’ (in this case meaning Term)-
so it means many terms.

• A polynomial is made up of terms that are only added, subtracted or multiplied.

• A quadratic polynomial in x with real coefficients is of the form ax² + bx + c, where a, b, c are real
numbers with a ≠ 0.

• Degree – The highest exponent of the variable in the polynomial is called the degree of polynomial.
Example: 3x3 + 4, here degree = 3.

• Polynomials of degrees 1, 2 and 3 are called linear, quadratic and cubic polynomial respectively.

• A polynomial can have terms which have Constants like 3, -20, etc., Variables like x and y and
Exponents like 2 in y².

• These can be combined using addition, subtraction and multiplication but NOT DIVISION.

www.acadpills.com
 • The zeroes of a polynomial p(x) are precisely the x-coordinates of the points, where the graph of y =
p(x) intersects the x-axis.

If α and β are the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial ax² + bx + c, then

sum of zeros, α+β = −b/a = −coefficient of x / coefficient of x2
product of zeros, αβ = c/a = constant term / coefficient of x2

If α, β, γ are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial ax3 + bx2 + cx + d = 0, then

α+β+γ = −b/a = −coefficient of x2 coefficient of x3
αβ+βγ+γα = c/a = coefficient of x / coefficient of x3
αβγ = −d / a = −constant term / coefficient of x3

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ZEROES & COEFFICIENTS OF POLYNOMIALS

Type of General Form No. Relationship between zeroes and coefficients

Polynomial of
Zeros
Linear ax + b, a ≠ 0 1 K = –b/a , ie, k = Constant term / Coefficient of x
Quadratic ax2 + bx + c, a ≠ 0 2 Sum of zeroes (α + β ) = Coefficient of x / Coefficient
of x 2 = - b / a
Product of zeroes (α * β ) = constant term /
Coefficient of x 2 = c / a

Cubic ax3 + bx2 + cx + d , a ≠ 3 Sum of zeroes(α + β + γ ) = = - b / a

0 Product of sum of zeroes taken two at a time (α β + β
γ + γ α ) = Coefficient of x / Coefficient of x 3 = c / a
Product of zeroes (α * β * γ ) = - constant term /
Coefficient of x 3 = - d / a

A quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are α and β is given by p(x) = x2 - (α + β ) x + α * β

i.e. x2 – (Sum of zeroes)x + (Product of zeroes)

A cubic polynomial whose zeroes are α , β and γ is given by p(x) = x3 + ( α + β + γ) x2 +( α β + β γ + γ α)x -

α *β*γ

 Chapter 5 AIRTHMETIC PROGRESSION

An Arithmetic Progression is a sequence of numbers in which we get each term by adding a

particular number to the previous term, except the first term. Example AP 2,4,6,8,10…….
A first term is 2 common difference = 4-2 =2

• Each number in the sequence is known as term.

• The fixed number i.e. the difference between each term with its preceding term is known
as common difference. It can be positive, negative or zero. It is represented as ‘ d’.
General form of Arithmetic Progression :- a ,a+d a+2d, a+3d ……a+nd

Where the first term is ‘a’ and the common

difference is ‘d’. Finite or Infinite Arithmetic
Progressions
1. Finite Arithmetic Progression
If there are only a limited number of terms in the sequence, then it is known as finite
Arithmetic Progression.
229, 329, 429, 529, 629
2. Infinite Arithmetic Progression
If there are an infinite number of terms in the sequence, then it is known as infinite
Arithmetic Progression.
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18…..…
The nth term of an Arithmetic Progression
If an is the nth term, a1 is the first term, n is the number of terms in the sequence and d is
a common difference then the nth term of an Arithmetic Progression will be

Arithmetic Series
The arithmetic series is the sum of all the terms of the arithmetic
sequence. The arithmetic series is in the form of
{a + (a + d) + (a + 2d) + (a + 3d) +........... }

Let there be an A.P with first term ‘a’ and common difference d. if there are m terms in
the AP, then nth term from the end = (m−n+1)th
term from the beginning =a+(m−n)d

www.acadpills.com
 Also, nth term from the end = Last term + (n−1)(−d)
= L−(n−1)d, where Ldenotes the last term.
The sum to n terms of an A.P with first term ‘a’ and common difference ‘d’ is given by
Sn= n/2{2a + (n-1)d}
Sn = n/2{an +a}

Q.10 The centroid is the centre point of the object. It is also defined as the point of intersection of all
the three medians. The median is a line that joins the midpoint of a side and the
opposite vertex of the triangle. The centroid of the triangle separates the median in the ratio of 2
: 1. It can be found by taking the average of x- coordinate points and y-coordinate points of all the
vertices of the triangle. See the figure given below

Here D,E and F are mid points of sides BC , AC and AB in same order. G is centroid, the centroid
divides the median in the ratio 2 : 1 with the larger part towards the vertex.

Q.12 A scale drawing of an object is the same shape at the object but a different size. The scale of a
drawing is a comparison of the length used on a drawing to the length it represents. The scale is
written as a ratio. The ratio of two corresponding sides in similar figures is called the scale factor
Scale factor= length in image / corresponding length in object
If one shape can become another using revising, then the shapes are similar. Hence, two shapes
are similar when one can become the other after a resize, flip, slide or turn. In the photograph
below showing the side view of a train engine. Scale factor is 1:200

www.acadpills.com
 This means that a length of 1 cm on the photograph above corresponds to a length of 200cm or 2
m, of the actual engine. The scale can also be written as the ratio of two lengths.

above, including the couplings(mechanism used to connect) is:
2. What will affect the similarity of any two polygons?

 CHAPTER 15 PROBABILITY

The theoretical probability (also called classical probability) of an event A, written as P(A), is
defined as
P(E) = Number of favorable out come / Total number of out comes
COMPLIMENTARY EVENTS AND PROBABILITY
We denote the event 'not E' by E . This is called the complement event of event E.
P(E) + P(not E)
P(E) + P(not E) = 1, which gives us P(not E) = 1 – P(E).
impossible event:-The probability of an event which is impossible to occur is 0. Such an event is called an
impossible event.
Sure event :The probability of an event which is sure (or certain) to occur is 1. Such an event is called a
sure event or a certain event.
. The probability of an event E is always between 0 and 1 number P(E) such that
0 ≤ P (E) ≤ 1
.An event having only one outcome is called an elementary event. The sum of the probabilities of
all the elementary events of an experiment is 1.
Playing cards problems and their probability
A deck of playing cards = 52 cards
which are divided into 4 suits of 13 cards each.
black spades (♠) =13 red hearts (♥) = 13
red diamonds (♦) = 13 black clubs (♣) =13
The cards in each suit are Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2.
Face cards: - Kings, Queens and Jacks are called face cards (Total 12 face cards).
Numbered Cards: Ace,10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2 (Total 40 cards)
Honours cards: Kings, Queens, Jacks and Ace

TOSSING OF COINS:

One coin tossed the outcomes = { H, T }=21=2

Two coins tossed then total outcome = (H,H),(H,T),(T,H),(T,T)=22=4
Three coins tossed then total outcome= (HHH),(HHT),(HTH),(THH),(TTT),(TTH),(THT),(HTT)= 23=8

Throwing dice
One dice thrown total number of outcomes = (1,2,3,4,5,6) = 6
Two dice throwing or one dice twice the total number of out comes
(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6)
(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)
(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)
(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6)
(5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6)
(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)
So, the total number of outcomes = 6 × 6 = 36

TERM INSURANCE PLAN

A particular term insurance company has two options in

the application form before issuing the policy – Smoker
or Non-smoker. As a smoker has more chance of getting
lung disease and death chance is comparatively higher.
So premium payment is more for a smoking person.
Company gives a rider plan (i.e. for some critical diseases)
along with normal term plan by paying some extra
premium money. In a certain time period, company
issues 100 policies of which 30% are for smokers and rest
for non-smoker customers. Also, half the smokers and
2/5 th of non – smoking customers have purchased a
rider plan along with a normal plan.

On the basis of above information give the answers of the following questions:
Q1) Find the probability that company issues policy for a smoker with rider plan. (Ans: 15/100)
Q2) Find the probability that company issues policy for a non- smoker without a rider plan. (Ans: 21/50)
Q3) Find the probability that company issues policy for a smoker without a rider plan. (Ans: 15/100)
