2. POLYNOMIALS
•Any expression containing one or more
terms with non zero coefficients (and
variables with non negative integers as
exponents) is called a polynomials.
•For Example: 10, a + b, 7x + y + 5, w + x +
y + z, etc. are some polynomials

DEGREE OF A POLYNOMIAL
• The highest power of the variable in a
polynomial is the degree of the polynomial.
• For example, 4x + 2 is a polynomial in the
variable x of degree 1,
• The degree of a non-zero constant polynomial
is zero.
4. M.V.HERWADKAR ENGLISH MEDIUM SCHOOL 4
•A polynomial of one term is called a monomial.
•Examples: 2x, 3xyz, -5, ¾ z etc
•A polynomial of two terms is called a binomial.
•Examples: 5y-3, 4z³+7, 5xyz –x etc
•A polynomial of three terms is called. a trinomial
•Examples:90xz+16x -¼, x-y-7, 2ax +3by –xy etc
TYPES OF POLYNOMIAL
5. M.V.HERWADKAR ENGLISH MEDIUM SCHOOL 5
• A polynomial of degree one is called a linear polynomial.
• Examples: 3x-5, 8x+7y-9z, ½ x-6z-10√2 etc
• A polynomial of degree two is called a quadratic
polynomial.
• Examples: 3x²-5x+4, 3x²+7y-9z, ½ 6z²+3x-9 etc
• A polynomial of degree three is called a cubic polynomial
• Examples: x³+13x²-5x+14, 8xy+7y-9z³, x-6z²-8y³

• A real number ‘a’ is a zero of a polynomial p(x) if p(a) = 0. In this
case, a is also called a root of the equation p(x) = 0.
• In general, if k is a zero of p(x) = ax + b, then p(k) = ak + b = 0, i.e.,
k=

Geometrical Meaning of the Zeroes of
a Polynomial
In general, for a linear
polynomial ax + b, a ≠ 0, the
graph of y = ax + b is a straight
line which intersects the x-axis at
exactly one point, namely, (0
−𝒃
𝒂
).
Therefore, the linear polynomial
ax + b, a 0, has exactly one zero,

Geometrical Meaning of the Zeroes of
a Polynomial
For any quadratic polynomial ax² + bx + c, a ≠ 0, the
graph of the corresponding equation y = ax² + bx + c
has one of the two shapes U either open upwards or
open downwards depending on whether a > 0 or a < 0.
These curves are called parabolas.
A parabola is a plane curve which is mirror
symmetrical and approximately U-shaped.
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. We can see geometrically, from the
following graphs, that a quadratic polynomial can
have either two distinct zeroes or two equal zeroes (i.e.,
one zero), or no zero. This also means that a
polynomial of degree 2 has at most two zeroes

•In general, given a polynomial p(x)
of degree n, the graph of y = p(x)
intersects the x-axis at at most n
points. Therefore, a polynomial
p(x) of degree n has at most n
zeroes.

EXERCISE 9.1
1. The graphs of y =
p(x) are given in Fig.
9.10 below, for some
polynomials p(x). Find
the number of zeroes of
p(x), in each case
11. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ZEROES AND
COEFFICIENTS OF A POLYNOMIAL
• In general, if α and β are the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial
• p(x) = ax² + bx + c, a ≠ 0 then x – α and x –β are the factors of
p(x).
• Sum of its zeroes = α + β =

= − (coefficient of x)/(coefficient
ofx²)
• Product of its zeroes = α × β =

Division Algorithm for Polynomials
• If p(x) and g(x) are any two polynomials with g(x) ≠
0, then we can find polynomials q(x) and r(x) such
that
p(x) = g(x) × q(x) + r(x),
where r(x) = 0 or degree of r(x) < degree of g(x).
This result is known as the Division Algorithm for
polynomials
14. • Example: Divide.x³ – 4x² + 2 x -3 by x+2
• So, here the quotient is x² – 6x + 14 and the
remainder is − 31. Also,
• (x+2)(x² –6x+ 14) + (−31 )
• =x³− 6x² +14x +2x² −12x +28 −31
• = x³ −4x² + 2x -3
• Therefore,
• Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
