1. Polynomials
Polynomials are algebraic expressions that consist of variables and coefficients. Variables
are also sometimes called indeterminate. We can perform arithmetic operations such as
addition, subtraction, multiplication and also positive integer exponents for polynomial
expressions but not division by variable. An example of a polynomial with one variable is
x2+x-12. In this example, there are three terms: x2, x and -12.
The word polynomial is derived from the Greek words ‘poly’ means ‘many‘ and ‘nominal’
means ‘terms‘, so altogether it said “many terms”. A polynomial can have any number of
terms but not infinite.

1. Notation
The polynomial function is denoted by P(x) where x represents the variable. For example,
P(x) = x2-5x+11
If the variable is denoted by a, then the function will be P(a)
2. Degree of a Polynomial
The degree of a polynomial is defined as the highest degree of a monomial within a polynomial. Thus, a
polynomial equation having one variable which has the largest exponent is called a degree of the
polynomial.
3. Terms of a Polynomial
The terms of polynomials are the parts of the equation which are generally separated by “+” or “-” signs. So,
each part of a polynomial in an equation is a term. For example, in a polynomial, say, 2x2 + 5 +4, the number
of terms will be 3. The classification of a polynomial is done based on the number of terms in it.

20.) In copying the quadratic equation of the form x +px+q=0, Giridhar made an
error in noting down the coefficient of x and he got 1 and –22 as the roots, while Harish
made an error in noting down the constant term and got 13 and -4 as the roots.
What are the roots of the actual equation?
