Which of the
following are
polynomials?
Polynomial:
An expression of form is called as polynomial.
where:
, , …………, , are terms of polynomial
, , …………, , are coefficients
Degree of polynomial:
The highest value of the power of the variable in the polynomial is the degree
of the polynomial.

Zeroes of a Polynomial
• If p(x) is a polynomial then the number ‘a’ will be the zero of
the polynomial with p(a) = 0.
• We can find the zero of the polynomial by equating it to zero.
• Ex: p(x) = x - 4
To find the zero of the polynomial we will equate it to zero.
x–4=0
x=4
‘4’ is the zero of p(x).
Zeroes of a Polynomial
• The Zero of the polynomial is
basically the x-intercept of the
polynomial.
• If the polynomial has one zero, it
will intersect the x-axis at one
point only and if it has two
zeroes then it will intersect at
two points and so on.

Zero of a Polynomial
• If the value of p(y) at y = k is 0, that is p (k) = 0 then y = k will be the zero of
that polynomial p(y).

Conclusions:
For the graphs of the polynomial f(x) = x2 – 2x – 8, following observations can be
drawn:
1. The coefficient of x2 in f(x) = x2 – 2x – 8 is 1 (a positive real number) and so
the parabola opens upwards.
2. D = b2 - 4ac = 4 + 32 = 36 > 0. So, the parabola cuts X-axis at two distinct points.
3. On comparing the polynomial x2 - 2x - 8 with ax2 + bx + c, we get a = 1, b = – 2
and c = – 8.
The vertex of the parabola has coordinates (1, -9) i.e
