Sure, here's a summary of polynomials for Class 9 mathematics

along with some equations:

**Polynomials**:

1. **Definition**: An algebraic expression consisting of variables


and coefficients, involving only the operations of addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents.

2. **Types**:

- **Monomial**: A polynomial with exactly one term. Example: \


(3x\).

- **Binomial**: A polynomial with exactly two terms. Example: \


(2x + 5\).

- **Trinomial**: A polynomial with exactly three terms. Example:


\(4x^2 - 3x + 2\).

3. **Degree of a Polynomial**: The highest power of the variable


in the polynomial.

4. **Addition and Subtraction of Polynomials**: Combine like


terms by adding or subtracting coefficients of the same degree.

5. **Multiplication of Polynomials**: Distributive property is used


to multiply each term of one polynomial by each term of the other
polynomial, and then combine like terms.
6. **Division of Polynomials**: Long division or synthetic division
methods are used to divide polynomials.

7. **Zeroes of a Polynomial**: Values of the variable for which the


polynomial becomes zero. These are the solutions to the equation
formed by setting the polynomial equal to zero.

8. **Factorization of Polynomials**: Expressing a polynomial as a


product of its factors. For example, \(x^2 - 4\) factors as \((x + 2)
(x - 2)\).

**Equations**:

1. **Linear Equation**: An equation of the form \(ax + b = 0\),


where \(a\) and \(b\) are constants, and \(x\) is the variable.

- Example: \(3x + 4 = 10\).

2. **Quadratic Equation**: An equation of the form \(ax^2 + bx +


c = 0\), where \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are constants, and \(x\) is the
variable.

- Example: \(2x^2 - 5x + 3 = 0\).

3. **Cubic Equation**: An equation of the form \(ax^3 + bx^2 +


cx + d = 0\), where \(a\), \(b\), \(c\), and \(d\) are constants, and \
(x\) is the variable.
- Example: \(x^3 + 4x^2 - 7x + 2 = 0\).

4. **Quartic Equation**: An equation of the form \(ax^4 + bx^3 +


cx^2 + dx + e = 0\), where \(a\), \(b\), \(c\), \(d\), and \(e\) are
constants, and \(x\) is the variable.

- Example: \(3x^4 - 2x^3 + 5x^2 - x + 7 = 0\).

These concepts form the foundation of polynomial algebra and


equations, providing tools to solve various mathematical
problems.
