If p(x) is a polynomial in x, the highest power of x in p(x) is called the degree of the
polynomial p(x).
Types of Polynomials
A polynomial of degree 1 is called a linear polynomial.
A polynomial of degree 2 is called a quadratic polynomial.
A polynomial of degree 3 is called a cubic polynomial.
Zeroes of a Polynomial
If p(x) is a polynomial in x, and if k is any real number, then the value obtained by replacing
x by k in p(x), is called the value of p(x) at x = k, and is denoted by p(k).
A real number k is said to be a zero of a polynomial p(x), if p(k) = 0.
Geometrical Meaning of Zeroes of Polynomials
The equation ax2 + bx + c can have three cases for the graphs
Case (i): Here, the graph cuts x-axis at two distinct points A and A′.
Case (ii): Here, the graph cuts the x-axis at exactly one point
Case (iii): Here, the graph is either completely above the x-axis or completely below the x-axis.
