A. INTRODUCTION AND CLASSIFICATION OF POLYNOMIALS
(a) General Terms
(i) Constant : A symbol having a fixed numerical value is called a ‘constant’
e.g. ‘2’ has a definite value. So, it is a constant
(ii) Variable : A symbol which takes on various numerical values is called a ‘variable’.
e.g. x,y .......
(iii) Coefficient : In the product of a constant and a variable, each is called the coefficient of the
other.
e.g. In 6x, 6 is the coefficient of x.
(iv) Algebraic expression : Combination of constants and variables with (+), (–), (), () is called an
‘Algebraic expression’.
e.g. 17 – x, 3x2 – 4x + 12, etc.
(v) Equation : Two expressions combined with equality symbol (=) is called an equation
e.g. 17 – x = 0, 3x2 – 4x + 12 = 2x2 – 3x. etc.
(vi) Degree of an expression : The highest number of times the variable is present in the terms of
an expression is the degree of an expression.
(b) Types of Polynomial
An algebraic expression f(x) of the form f(x) = a0 + a1x + a2x2 +...........+ anxn, where a0, a1,
a2,............,an are real numbers and all the index of ‘x’ are non-negative integers is called a
polynomial in x.
• Identification of Polynomial :
For this, we have following examples :
(i) 3 x2 + x – 5 is a polynomial in variable x as all the exponents of x are non negative integers.
(ii) 3 x2 + x – 5x is not a polynomial as the exponent of second term ( x = x1/2) is not a non
negative integer.
5 5
(iii) 5x3 + 2x2 + 3x – + 6 is not a polynomial as the exponent of fourth term – is not non–
x x
negative integer.

POLYNOMIALS
(i) Based on degrees : There are four types of polynomials based on degrees. These are listed
below :
Zero degree polynomial : Any non-zero number (constant) is regarded as a polynomial of
degree zero or zero degree polynomial. i.e. f(x) = a, where a 0 is a zero degree polynomial,
since we can write f(x) = a as f(x) = axo.
Linear Polynomial : A polynomial of degree one is called a linear polynomial. The general form
of linear polynomial is ax + b, where a and b are any real constant and a 0.
Quadratic Polynomial : A polynomial of degree two is called a quadratic polynomial. The
general form of a quadratic polynomial is ax2 + bx + c, where a 0.
Cubic Polynomial : A polynomial of degree three is called a cubic polynomial. The general
form of a cubic polynomial is ax3 + bx2 + cx + d, where a 0.
Biquadratic (or quartic) Polynomials : A polynomial of degree four is called a biquadratic
(quartic) polynomial. The general form of a biquadratic polynomial is ax4 + bx3 + cx2 + dx + e,
where a 0.
NOTE : A polynomial of degree five or more than five does not have any particular name. Such a
polynomial usually called a polynomial of degree five or six or ....... etc.
If p(x) and g(x) are any two polynomials with g(x) 0, then we can find polynomials r(x) and q(x)
such that p(x) = g(x) × q(x) + r(x)
i.e. Dividend = (Divisor x Quotient) + Remainder
where r(x)=0 or degree of r(x) < degree of g(x).

Example.4
If p(x) = x2 – 2x + 1 and q(x) = x3 – 3x2 + 2x – 1. Find p(x) q(x) and check the degree of p(x) q(x)
Sol. p(x) q(x) = (x2 – 2x + 1) (x3 – 3x2 + 2x – 1)
= x2(x3 – 3x2 + 2x – 1) – 2x(x3 – 3x2 + 2x – 1) + 1 (x3 – 3x2 + 2x – 1)
= (x5 – 3x4 + 2x4 + 2x3 + 6x3 + x3 – x2 – 4x2 – 3x2 + 2x + 2x – 1
= x5 – 5x4 + 9x3 – 8x2 + 4x – 1
The degree of p(x) q(x) is ‘5’
Example.5
What must be added to 3x3 + x2 – 22x + 9 so that the result is exactly divisible by 3x2 + 7x – 6.
Sol. Let p(x) = 3x3 + x2 – 22x + 9 and q(x) = 3x2 + 7x – 6
We know if p(x) is divided by q(x) which is quadratic polynomial then the remainder be r(x) and
degree of r(x) is less than q(x) or Divisor.
By long division method

Hence if in p(x) we added 2x + 3 then it is exactly divisible by 3x2 + 7x – 6.
Example.6
What must be subtracted from x3 – 6x2 – 15x + 80 so that the result is exactly divisible by x2 + x – 12.
Sol: Let p(x) = x3 – 6x2 – 15x + 80 so that it is exactly divisible by q(x) = x2 + x – 12.
We know if p(x) is divided by q(x) which is quadratic polynomial then the remainder be r(x) and
degree of r(x) is less than q(x) or Divisor.
By long division method

2 3
x3 x 2 12x
7 x 2 3x 80

Hence, if in p(x) we subtract 4x – 4 then it is exactly divisible by x2 + x – 12.

Example.8
If x = 2 & x = 0 are two roots of the polynomial f(x) = 2x3 – 5x2 + ax + b. Find the values of a and b.
Sol. f (2) = 2 (2)3 – 5 (2)2 + a (2) + b = 0
16 – 20 + 2a + b = 0
2a + b = 4 ...(i)
f (0) = 2 (0)3 – 5 (0)2 + a (0) + b = 0
b=0
Put b = 0 in eq. (i)
2a + 0 = 4
So, 2a = 4
a = 2.
Hence, a = 2, b = 0.

The polynomials ax3 + 3x2 – 13 and 2x3 – 5x + a are divided by x + 2 and if the remainder in each
case is the same, find the value of a.
Sol. p(x) = ax3 + 3x2 – 13 and q(x) = 2x3 – 5x + a
When p(x) & q(x) are divided by x + 2
Let x+2=0 x = – 2.
Remainder are same.
So, p (– 2) = q(– 2)
a (– 2)3 + 3 (– 2)2 – 13 = 2 (– 2)3 – 5 (– 2) + a

remainders are respectively 5 and 19. Determine the remainder when f(x) is divided by (x – 2).
Sol. When f(x) is divided by (x – 1) and (x + 1) the remainders are 5 and 19 respectively.
f(1) = 5
14 – 2(1)3 + 3(1)2 – a(1) + b = 5

Find the values of a and b so that the polynomials x3 – ax2 – 13x + b has (x – 1) and (x + 3) as
factors.
Sol. Let f(x) = x3 – ax2 – 13x + b
Because (x – 1) and (x + 3) are the factors of f(x),
f(1) = 0 and f(– 3) = 0
f(1) = 0
(1)3 – a(1)2 – 13(1) + b = 0
1 – a – 13 + b = 0
– a + b = 12 .... (i)
f(–3) = 0
(– 3)3 – a(– 3)2 – 13(– 3) + b = 0
– 27 – 9a + 39 + b = 0

– 9a + b = –12 ....(ii)
Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i)
(– a + b) – (– 9a + b) = 12 + 12
– a + 9a = 24
8a = 24
a = 3.
Put a = 3 in equation (i)
– 3 + b = 12
b = 15.
Hence, a = 3 and b = 15.
Example.15
If ax3 + bx2 + x – 6 has x + 2 as a factor and leaves a remainder 4 when divided by (x – 2), find the
values of a and b?
Sol. Let p(x) = ax3 + bx2 + x – 6 be the given polynomial.
Now, (x + 2) is a factor of p(x).
p(– 2) = 0
a(– 2)3 + b(– 2)2 + (– 2) – 6 = 0
– 8a + 4b – 2 – 6 = 0
– 8a + 4b = 8 .... (i)
It is given that p(x) leaves remainder 4 when it is divided by (x – 2).
p( 2) = 4
a(2)3 + b(2)2 + (2) – 6 = 4
8a + 4b + 2 – 6 = 4
8a + 4b = 8 .... (ii)
Add equation (i) & (ii)
– 8a + 4b + 8a + 4b = 8 + 8
8b = 16 b = 2.
Put b = 2 in equation (i)
– 8a + 4(2) = 8
– 8a + 8 = 8
– 8a = 0 a = 0.
Hence, a = 0 and b = 2.

Example.28
Find the product of following expression :
(i) (3x – 4y + 5z) (9x2 + 16y2 + 25z2 +12xy – 15zx + 20yz)
(ii) (2a – 3b – 2c) (4a2 + 9b2 + 4c2 + 6ab – 6bc + 4ca)
Sol. (i) (3x – 4y + 5z)(9x2 + 16y2 + 25z2 + 12xy –15zx + 20yz)
Let, a = 3x, b = – 4y, c = 5z
= (a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 – ab – bc – ca)
= (a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc)
= (3x)3 + (– 4y)3 + (5z)3 – 3(3x)(– 4y)(5z)
= 27x3 – 64y3 + 125z3 +180 xyz
(ii) (2a – 3b – 2c)(4a2 + 9b2 + 4c2 + 6ab – 6bc + 4ca)
Let x = 2a, y = – 3b, z = – 2c
= (x + y + z)(x2 + y2 + z2 – xy – yz – zx)
= (x3 + y3 + z3 – 3xyz)
= (2a)3 + (– 3b)3 + (– 2c)3 – 3(2a)(– 3b)(– 2c)
= 8a3 – 27b3 – 8c3 – 36abc
Example.29
If a + b + c = 9 and ab + bc + ac = 26, find the value of a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc.
Sol. We have a + b + c = 9 ...(i)
(a + b + c)2 = 81 [On squaring both sides of (i)]
a + b + c + 2(ab + bc + ac) = 81
2 2 2
a2 + b2 + c2 + 2 × 26 = 81 [ ab + bc + ac = 26]
a2 + b2 + c2 = (81 – 52)
a2 + b2 + c2 = 29.
Now, we have
a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc
= (a + b + c) (a2 + b2 + c2 – ab – bc – ac)
= (a + b + c) [(a2 + b2 + c2) – (ab + bc + ac)]
= 9 × [(29 – 26)]
= (9 × 3) = 27.

Example.31
Prove that : (x – y)3 + (y – z)3 + (z – x)3 = 3(x – y) (y – z) (z – x).
Sol. Let (x – y) = a, ( y – z) = b and ( z – x) = c.
Then, a + b + c = (x – y) + (y – z) + ( z – x) = 0
a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc
or (x – y)3 + (y – z)3 + (z – x)3 = 3 (x – y) (y – z) (z – x).
Example.32
Find the value of (28)3 – (78)3 + (50)3.
Sol. Let a = 28, b = – 78, c = 50
Then, a + b + c = 28 – 78 + 50 = 0
a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc.
So, (28)3 + (–78)3 + (50)3 = 3 × 28 × (–78) × 50 = – 327600.

C. FACTORIZATION
To express a given polynomial as the product of polynomials, each of degree less than that of the
given polynomial such that no such a factor has a factor of lower degree, is called factorization.
(a) Factorization by taking out the common factor :
Working Rule: When each term of an expression has a common factor, divide each term by this
factor and take out as a multiple.
(b) Factorization by grouping :
Working Rule:Sometimes in a given expression it is not possible to take out a common factor
directly.However, the terms of the given expression are grouped in such a manner that we may
have a common factor.This can be factorized as discussed above.
(c) Factorization by making a perfect square :
Working Rule : a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2
(d) Factorization the difference of two squares :
Working Rule: a2 – b2 = (a + b) (a – b)

So, (2x – 3y)3 + (4z – 2x)3 + (3y – 4z)3 = a3 + b3 + c3
Now, a + b + c = 2x – 3y + 4z – 2x +3y – 4z = 0

Now, x + y + z = p(q – r) + q(r – p) + r(p – q) = pq – pr + qr – qp + rp – rq = 0
