An algebraic expression f(x) of the form f(x)= a 0 x 2 +…….+a n x n ,where a 0 , a 1, a 2 ……. a n are real numbers and all the index of x are non negative integers is called polynomial in x and the highest index n is called as the degree of polynomial.
SPECIAL CASE : If a+ b +c=0 then a 3 +b 3 +c 3 = 3abc
ZEROS OR ROOTS OF A POLYNOMIAL
A real number ‘a’ is a zero of a polynomial f(x),if f(a)=0.Here ‘a’ is called a root of the equation f(x) = 0
FACTOR THEOREM
Let p(x) be a polynomial of degree greater than or equal to ‘a’, be a real number such that p(a)=0,then (x-a) is a factor of p(x),then p(a)=0.
REMAINDER THEOREM
Let p(x) be any polynomial of degree greater than or equal to one and ‘a’ be any real number. If p(x)is a dividend by (x-a),then remainder is equal to p(a).let q(x) be the quotient and r(x) be the remainder when p(x) is divided by (x-a),then
Dividend=Divisor x Quotient + Remainder
