CHAPTER-2: Polynomial
Relation between the zeroes and coefficient of a polynomial
A polynomial is an algebraic expression consisting of multiple terms. There are
various types of polynomials such as linear, quadratic, cubic……..
A real number k is a zero of a polynomial of p(x) if p(k)= 0.

LINEAR POLYNOMIAL [ p(x)=ax+b]

The general form of linear polynomial is p(x)=ax+b, its zero is –b/a or minus of
constant term divided by coefficient of x.

QUADRATIC POLYNOMIAL ( p(x)= ax2 + bx +c)

General form of quadratic polynomial is ax2 + bx +c. There are two zeroes of
quadratic polynomial.
Factor Theorem: If a is zero of a polynomial p(x) then (x – a) is a factor of p(x).

Sum of zeroes =

Product of zeroes =

CUBIC POLYNOMIAL {p(x)= ax3 + bx 2+ cx + d}

General form of cubic polynomial of ax3 + bx 2+ cx + d where a≠0. The sum of

zeroes of the cubic polynomial =

Sum of the product of zeroes taken two at a time=


Product of zeroes =
