The document discusses polynomials including their definition, types, degree, standard form, zeros and the relationship between zeros and coefficients of quadratic polynomials. Polynomials are algebraic expressions with variables and coefficients. Types include constant, linear, quadratic, cubic polynomials based on degree. Degree is the highest exponent in a polynomial. Zeros are the values that make a polynomial equal to 0.

WHAT IS POLYNOMIAL ?
Mathematics, a polynomial is an expression consisting of coefficients
variables which are also known as indeterminate.
the name suggests poly means many and nominal means terms,
ce a polynomial means many terms.
ynomials are generally a sum or difference of variables and
onents.
h part of the polynomial is known as a “term”.
ynomial examples - 4x2+3x−7
Types of Polynomials
ious types of Polynomials based on the number of terms that the polynomial has been,
Types Definition Representation Example

Constant A polynomial of
f(x) = k f(x) = 2
Polynomials degree Zero

Linear A polynomial of g(x) = ax + b, a ≠


g(x) = 2x + 1
Polynomials degree One 0

Quadratic A polynomial of h(x) = ax2 + bx +


h(x) = 2x2 − 2x + 4
Polynomials degree Two c, a ≠ 0

Cubic A polynomial of p(x) = ax3 + bx2 + p(x) = 3x3 + 4x2 +


Polynomials degree Three cx + d, a ≠ 0 5x + 2

Bi-Quadratic A polynomial of q(x) = ax4 + bx3 + q(x) = 5x4 + 3x3 +


Polynomials degree Four cx2 + dx + e, a ≠ 0 2x2 + 4x + 1
DEGREE OF A POLYNOMIAL
e highest exponent of the variable in the algebraic expression is called Degree of
lynomial.
e examples of the degree of polynomials:
+ 3x +1 is a polynomials of degree 2 in the variable x.
+ 2y2 + 4y + 1 is a polynomials of degree 3 in the variable y.
ynomials in standard form can also be referred to as the standard form of a
nomial which means writing a polynomial in the descending order of the
r of the variable.

write a polynomial in a standard form, the degree of the polynomial is


rtant as in the standard form of a polynomial, the terms are written in
asing order of the power of x.

standard form of a quadratic polynomial p(x) = ax2 + bx + c, where a, b,


are real numbers, and a ≠ 0..
Zeros of a Polynomial
We say that x = a is the zero of the polynomial if P(x) = 0 at that point. The
rocess of finding zero is basically the process of finding out the solutions of any
olynomial equation.

xample: Find the zeros of the quadratic polynomial f(x) = x2 + 7x + 12.

olution:
First, find the factor of x2 + 7x +12.
x2 + 7x + 12 = x2 + (4 + 3)x + 12
= x2 + 4x +3x + 12
= x (x + 4) + 3 (x + 4)
= (x + 3)(x + 4)
o, f(x) = (x + 3)(x + 4)
eros of polynomial f(x) are given by f(x) = 0.
x + 3)(x + 4) = 0
= −4 or x = −3
herefore, the zeros of f(x) are −4 and −3.
ELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ZEROES AND COEFFICIENT OF A
OLYNOMIAL.
athematics, algebraic expression with many terms is called a polynomial. We know that,
ding on the degree of the polynomial, the polynomial can be classified into different types,
s linear polynomial (x), quadratic polynomial (x2), and cubic polynomial (x3), and so on.
he degree of the polynomial, we can easily determine the zeros of a polynomial.

relationship between the zeros of the quadratic polynomial and the coefficient of the
tic polynomial is,
y polynomial P(x) = ax2 + bx + c if the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial are α, and β

f the zeroes (α + β) = – Coefficient of x / Coefficient of x2 = -b/a


ct of the zeroes (αβ) = Constant term / Coefficient of x2 = c/a
What mean sum of root and product of root?

Polynomial: +β = -
Sum of Roots of a Quadratic Polynomial:α
b/a, where α and β are the zeroes of the quadratic
polynomial ax2 + bx + c.
Product of roots of a quadratic polynomial: αβ=c/a.
where α and β are the zeroes of the quadratic
polynomial ax2 + bx + c.
