Polynomials

 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).

Types of Polynomials
 A polynomial of degree 1 is called a linear polynomial.
 A polynomial of degree 2 is called a quadratic polynomial.
 A polynomial of degree 3 is called a cubic polynomial.

Zeroes of a Polynomial
 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.
 Geometrical Meaning of Zeroes of Polynomials
 The equation ax2 + bx + c can have three cases for the graphs

 Case (i): Here, the graph cuts x-axis at two distinct points A and A′.
Case (ii): Here, the graph cuts the x-axis at exactly one point
Case (iii): Here, the graph is either completely above the x-axis or completely below the x-axis.

Relationship between Zeroes and Coefficients of a Polynomial


If  and  are the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial p(x) = ax2 + bx + c, a  0, then you know
that x −  and x −  are the factors of p(x).
Α + β = − b/a
αβ = c/a

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.
 Consider the cubic polynomial x3 − 3x2 − x + 3.
If one of its zeroes is 1, then x − 1 is a factor of x3 − 3x2 − x + 3.
So, you can divide x3 − 3x2 − x + 3 by x − 1,
Next, you could get the factors of x2 − 2x − 3, by splitting the middle term, as:
(x + 1) (x − 3). This would give you:
x3 − 3x2 − x + 3 = (x − 1) (x2 − 2x − 3)
= (x − 1) (x + 1) (x − 3)
So, all the three zeroes of the cubic polynomial are now known to you as
1, − 1, 3.
