01 Recap Of Algebra till Class 8

Algebra: The branch of mathematics which deals with the study of variables and methods of
manipulating them.
Variables: Alphabets, Symbols or literals used to represent any unknown quantity. Like ‘x’, ‘y’, ‘z’
etc.
Constants: The fixed Numbers having a specific value, which never changes. Like 5, 7, etc.
Algebraic Terms: they are formed by the operations of multiplication and/or division between
constants and variables.Like
Algebraic Expression: A mathematical statement involving addition and/or subtraction of one or
more terms. Like etc.
We classify Algebraic Expressions as Monomials, Binomials, Trinomials and Expressions having
more than three terms.
Degree of an Algebraic Expression: The Highest power of any term in an Algebraic
Expression. Like in Expression the highest power of variable x is 5 and thus
the degree of this expression is 5.

Likewise in the expression the highest power of any term is of third term that
is 6 thus the degree of this expression is 6.

02 Polynomials And Its Standard Forms:


Polynomials are those particular algebraic expressions in which the powers to which the variables
are raised are whole numbers. Like is a polynomial but is not
a polynomial because the first term of the algebraic expression has a rational number power of the
variable which is not a whole number.
Polynomials may be in one or more variables: Like is a polynomial in
two variables x and y we write it as p(x,y) = read as polynomial in x
and y.
A polynomial in a single variable may be written as p(x) =
Standard Form Of writing The Polynomials: If all the terms of a polynomial are written in
decreasing order of their degrees then the polynomial is said to be written in standard form.
Like p(x) = is not in descending order of the degree of its term if we
arrange in standard form it will be written as p(x) =
03 Types Of Polynomials Based On Their Degree:
Actually there are many types but the major ones we are interested in class 9 are polynomials in a
single variable. They may be classified as Linear, Quadratic, Cubic Polynomials and of higher
degree.
Linear Polynomials: A Polynomial having Degree one like is called a linear
polynomial because if we draw a graph between p(x) at y- axis and x at x- axis then we get a straight
line. The general form of a linear polynomial is p(x)= ax+b, where a and b are any real nos.
Quadratic Polynomial: A Polynomial having degree two is called Quadratic Polynomial. Its graph
between p(x) and x is a curve which may intersect x-axis in maximum two points. The general form
of a quadratic polynomial is where a,b,c are any real nos.
Cubic Polynomial: A Polynomial having degree three is called cubic Polynomial. Its graph between
p(x) and x is a curve which may intersect x-axis in maximum three points. The general form of a
quadratic polynomial is where a,b,c and d are any real nos.
04 Value Of A Polynomial For A Given Value Of Variable
For finding the value of a polynomial in one variable we replace the variable by the given value and
then simplify it. For example
Find the value of the polynomial at
We put
And then we replace x by 2 to find p(2) i.e

= =

Zeroes of a Polynomial
If the value of any polynomial p(x) for any value of x=a is zero, then x=a is called the zero of
polynomial p(x). thus we define the zero of a polynomial as follows.

The value of the variable at which the value of the polynomial becomes zero is called the zero
of the polynomial.
For example let us consider p(x)=
If we find

=
=0
And

=0
Thus and both are zero thus we say that and are the two zeroes of
this polynomial. Also we observe that at any other value of x the value of the polynomial is not zero.
Thus we arrive at the following important conclusion.
A polynomial p(x) having degree n has maximum n zeroes i.e the number of zeroes of a
polynomial can never exceed its degree.

05 Division of Polynomials and Remainder Theorem


For dividing a polynomial by any linear polynomial the following steps are followed.
Step 1: Write both the divisors and dividend in standard form(in decreasing order of degrees of
terms)
Step 2: Obtain the firs term of the quotient by dividing highest degree term of dividend by that of
divisor.
Step 3: Multiply the so obtained term with the divisor and subtract it from the dividend. Normally
we get the new dividend which is one degree lesser.
The same steps are repeated till we get the final remainder having degree less than the divisor. For
Example:
Divide
This way we see that when the division is carried out the remainder so obtained is
Remainder Theorem: This theorem gives us a way of finding the remainder obtained without the
long division process. The simplest way to understand the theorem is as follows.
If we have to find the remainder obtained on dividing any polynomial by any linear polynomial, then
we first find the zero of the divisor (the linear polynomial). We put this value in place of x in the
dividend. The value so obtained is the remainder.
In short it may be stated as:
If a Polynomial is divided by a linear polynomial then the remainder obtained on division
is

In the above division example, the divisor was . for finding its zero we equate it to 0 i.e put
i.e is a zero of the divisor. Next if we find the
value of the dividend at

06 Factor Theorem:
The factor theorem gives us a method for finding the factors of a polynomial without applying the
long division method. It is like an extension of remainder theorem. As we know we call a linear
polynomial a factor of a polynomial of degree n if the division is such that the remainder is zero.
Thus applying this fact we state Factor Theorem as follows:

If is a factor of a polynomial then


That is if is a factor of p(x) then the value of at the zero of is zero.
Important Note: We had defined the zero of a polynomial as the value of the variable at which
the value of the polynomial becomes zero. Also we say that at the value of polynomial is
zero then is a factor of the polynomial. Thus we have an important relation between the
zeroes of polynomial and its factors. We state it as follows.
If is a zero of then is a factor of
Also it may be noted that the zeroes of a polynomial never changes if it is multiplied or divided
by any constant real number.

07Algebraic Identities:
We have studied the following four identities in class 8
1.
2.
3.
4.
Now we have the following important identities:
5.
For example:
Write in expanded for using a suitable identity:

Here we see that in place of x we have 2x, in place of y we have 3y and in place of z we have 4z.
thus we use the identity as follows:

While expanding we have just put the values of x, y and z in the identity. Similarly

(Here as we observe that in place of x we have a, in place of y we have -3b and in place of z we have
2c). we have to put the terms for x,y and z along with there signs.
Thus,
The 6th and the 7th identities are for cubes as follows:
6. and
7.
For example: Expand using a suitable identity:
Here we see that in place of x we have 2a and in place of y we have 3b, thus we can expand by
putting the values as
so
