Topics in Polynomials
Definition and Types of Polynomials
- A polynomial in x is an algebraic expression of the form axⁿ where a is real, a ≠ 0, and n is a whole number
- Degree of polynomial = highest power of variable
- Linear polynomial: degree 1 (ax + b)
Value and Zeros of Polynomials
- Value of p(x) at x = k is denoted as p(k)
- Zero of polynomial p(x) is value of x where p(x) = 0
- Real number k is zero of p(x) if p(k) = 0
Geometrical Meaning of Zeros
- Zeros are x-coordinates where graph intersects X-axis
- Linear polynomial graph intersects X-axis at exactly one point
- Quadratic polynomial can intersect X-axis at 0, 1, or 2 points
Relationship Between Zeros and Coefficients
- For quadratic ax² + bx + c with zeros α, β:
- Sum of zeros: α + β = -b/a
- Product of zeros: αβ = c/a
