2. The general form of a Polynomial:
An algebraic expression of the form where are constants, is known as a polynomial in variable .
3. Terms of a Polynomial:
In the polynomial each of is called its term and called the leading term. is known as the constant term.
4. Degree of a Polynomial:
A polynomial is of degree if 5. .
5. Classification of Polynomials based on Degree:
(i) A polynomial of degree is called a linear polynomial. For example, is a linear polynomial.
(ii) A polynomial of degree is called a quadratic polynomial. Thus, ; is the general form of a quadratic polynomial.
(iii) A polynomial of degree is called a cubic polynomial. Thus, ; is the general form of a cubic polynomial.
6. Zeros of a Polynomial:
(i) A real number is a zero (or root) of a polynomial , if .
(ii) A polynomial of degree has maximum of roots.
(iii) A linear polynomial has a unique root given by
(iv) A non-zero constant polynomial has no root.
(v) Every real number is a root of the zero polynomial.
(vi) If is a polynomial with integral coefficients and the leading coefficient is then any integer root of is a factor of the constant term.
(vii) Let be a polynomial. Then, (a rational fraction in lowest terms) is a root of if is a factor of constant term and is a factor of the leading term .
7. Remainder Theorem:
Let be a polynomial of degree greater than or equal to one and be any real number. If is divisible by then the remainder is equal to
8. Factor Theorem:
Let be a polynomial of degree greater than or equal to one and be real number such that then is a factor of Conversely, if is a factor of then
