Topics in Polynomials

1

Types of Polynomials Based on Degree

  • Degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the polynomial
  • Linear polynomial: Degree 1 (Example: 2x - 3, √3x + 5)
  • Quadratic polynomial: Degree 2 (Example: 2x² - 3x + 5, y² - 2)
2

Value of a Polynomial and Zeros

  • Value of polynomial p(x) at x = k is denoted as p(k)
  • To find p(k), substitute x = k in the polynomial expression
  • A real number k is called a zero of polynomial p(x) if p(k) = 0
3

Geometric Representation and Graphs

  • Graph of linear polynomial y = ax + b is a straight line
  • Linear polynomial has exactly one zero (x-intercept)
  • Graph of quadratic polynomial y = ax² + bx + c is a parabola
4

Relationship Between Zeros and Coefficients

  • For quadratic polynomial ax² + bx + c with zeros α and β:
  • Sum of zeros: α + β = -b/a
  • Product of zeros: αβ = c/a
