Introduction :
A polynomial is an expression of finite length
constructed from
variables and constants, using only the operations of
addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative, whole-
number exponents.
Polynomials appear in a wide variety.
The exponent of the highest degree term in a polynomial is known
as its
degree.
For example:
f(x) = 3x + is a polynomial in the
variable x of degree 1.
g(y) = 2y
2
3/2y + 7 is a polynomial in
the variable y of degree 2.
p(x) = 5x
3
3x
2
+ x 1/2 is a polynomial
in the variable x of degree 3.
q(u) = 9u
5
2/3u

+ u

is a polynomial
in the variable u of degree 5.


Degree of polynomial
Constant
polynomial:
For example:
f(x) = 7, g(x) = -3/2, h(x) = 2
are constant polynomials.
The degree of constant polynomials is not defined.
Linear polynomial:
For example:
p(x) = 4x 3, q(x) = 3y are linear polynomials.
Any linear polynomial is in the form ax + b, where a, b are
real
nos. and a 0.
It may be a monomial or a binomial. F(x) = 2x 3 is binomial
whereas
g (x) = 7x is monomial.


Types of
polynomial:
A polynomial of degree two
is called a quadratic polynomial.
f(x) = 3x
2
4/3x + , q(w)
= 2/3w
2
+ 4 are quadratic
polynomials with real
coefficients.
Any quadratic is always in the
form f(x) = ax
2
+ bx +c where
a,b,c are real nos. and a 0.
A polynomial of degree
three is called a cubic
polynomial.
f(x) = 9/5x
3
2x
2
+ 7/3x
_1/5 is a cubic polynomial in
variable x.
Any cubic polynomial is
always in the form f(x = ax3
+ bx2 +cx + d where a,b,c,d
are real nos.
Values & zeros of
Polynomial
A real no. x is a zero of the
polynomial f(x),is f(x) = 0
Finding a zero of the
polynomial means solving
polynomial equation f(x) = 0.
If f(x) is a polynomial and
y is any real no. then real
no. obtained by replacing x
by y in f(x) is called the
value of f(x) at x = y and
is denoted by f(x).
Value of f(x) at x = 1
f(x) = 2x

x + 4 = 0 or, x + 3 = 0
x = -4 , -3
