Worksheet For class 10

Summary

An algebraic expression f(x) of the form f(x)= a0x2+…….+an xn ,where a0, a1, a2……. an 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.

IMPORTANT FORMULAS

  • (x+a)2 =x2 +2ax+a2
  • (x-a)2 =x2 – 2ax +a2
  • x2-a2 =(x+a) (x-a)
  • x3+a3=(x+a) (x2-ax+a2)=(x+a)3 –3xa(x+a)
  • x3-a3=(x-a) (x2+ax+a2)=(x+a)3 +3xa(x-a)
  • (a + b + c) 2=a2+b2+c2+2ab+2bc+2ac
  • (a + b) 3= a3+b3+3ab (a + b)
  • (a-b) 3= a3-b3-3ab (a-b)
  • a3+b3+c3-3abc = (a +b +c) (a2+b2+c2-ab-bc-ca)

SPECIAL CASE : If a+ b +c=0 then a3+b3+c3 = 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
