Today, in this article I will try to explain the topic Different types of polynomials. Hope this will help on going  school students a lot.


    Explanation:-


    What is a polynomial?


    Answer:-


     In Mathematics, a polynomial is an expression which consists one or more terms and co-efficients that take part only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and positive integer power of variables and integer power will never be a negative one or a fraction,or never be the square root of variables .e.g, x² - x - 6  is a quadratic polynomial of variable x as the degree of the polynomial is 2 (in terms of degree if we consider) again it can be called as trinomial (if we consider its total terms).


    How polynomials can be characterised?


    Answer:- Depending on terms polynomials are characterised in four types
    and they are :-
    (i) Monomial
    (ii) Binomial
    (iii) Trinomial
    (iv)Quadronomial.


    Different types of polynomials:-

    Again depending on degree polynomials are further divided in four types and they are:-
    (i) Zero degree polynomial.
    (ii) Linear or one degree polynomial.
    (ii) Quadratic or two degree polynomial.
    (iii) Cubic or three degree polynomial.


    Different types of polynomials:-

    What is monomial?


    Answer :- The polynomial which contains only one term or a single term is known as monomial.e.g; 2x, 10……..etc.


    What is binomial ?


    Answer:- The polynomial which hasThe polynomial which has two terms is known as binomial. e.g; x + y, 2x -5….etc


      What is trinomial?


    Answer:- A polynomial which has three terms is known as trinomial.e.g; x²  +y³ -7,
     2x + y + 5


    What is quadronomial?


    Answer:- A polynomial which has four terms is known as quadronomial.e.g; 3y³+ x² - z + p, 5z -3y + x -9 …. etc.

    What is a zero degree polynomial?

    Answer:- A polynomial whose highest power of variables is zero is called a zero degree polynomial.e.g; 2x⁰, x⁰ + 5y⁰ + z⁰ ......etc.


    What is  one degree or linear polynomial?


    Answer:- The polynomial whose highest exponent of variable is  one is called one degreeThe polynomial whose highest exponent of variable is  one is called one degree or linear polynomial.e.g; x + y , 9x + 3y +8  are linear polynomials of two variables…..etc.


    What is two degree or quadratic polynomial?


    Answer:- The polynomial whose highest power of variable or sum of exponents of variables is 2 is known as two degree or quadratic polynomial. e.g; 2x² + x + 3 is a quadratic polynomial of  single variable x .

     

    again,
            xy + 5z + 2 is a quadratic polynomial of three variables x,y and z. ∵ The powers of variables of x and y are 1and 1,
    Now sum of the powers of variables x and y is = 1+ 1 = 2 , so it is a quadratic polynomial.


    What is Cubic polynomial?


    Answer:-  A polynomial whose highest variable's power is three is called a cubic polynomial. e.g; x³ + x² +x + 2 is a cubic polynomial of single variable x
    5x²y + xy + z is a cubic polynomial of thre variables x,y and z.


    Now let, us do some problems of polynomials:-


    Find the degree of the following polynomials:-


    (i) 4x² + x + 9 (ii) x³ y² + 7y + m
    (iii)  x - 3y + 5z


    Answer:- (i)  The degree of this poly nomial = 2
    Explanation:-As,its highest power of variable x  is = 2
    (ii) The degree of this polynomial = 3 + 2 = 5
    Explanation:-  As the highest power of variable x = 3 and highest power of variable y = 3
    So its degree is = 3 + 2 = 5
    (iii) The degree of this polynomial = 1
    Explanation :- The highest exponents of the variables x, y and z are equal and it is 1,
    So, degree of this polynomial is = 1


    Find out which of the following expressions are polynomials also write their name.


    (i) 1/x + y -7 (ii) y²/³ + 9x + 4 (iii) x³ + y² + z


    Answer:- (i) It is not a polynomial.
    Explanation:- The exponent of variable x is = - 1 which is a negative integer.
    So, it is not a polynomial.
    (ii) It is not a polynomial.
    Explanation:- The exponent of variable y is = ⅔ which is a fraction, so it is not a polynomial.
    (iii) It is a cubic polynomial ( If we consider its degree)
    It is also a trinomial.(If we consider its terms)
    Explanation:-
    If we consider degree,
    Its highest exponent of variable x is = 3 , so it is a cubic polynomial.
    Again if we consider terms,
    The total number of terms of the expression is = 3
    So, it is a trinomial.


    Find a quadratic polynomial


    whose roots are (i) - 2 , 3 (ii) ¼, 4 (iii) 2, 2


    Answer :-
    (i) ∵ sum of the roots(s) = - 2 + 3 = 1
    and product of the roots (p) = - 2 × 3
                                          = - 6
    Quadratic polynomial will be,
        x² - sx + p 
    = x² - 1.x + (- 6)
    = x² - x - 6
    (ii) ∵ sum of the roots (s) = ¼ + 4/1
               = (1 + 16)/4 [ ∵ L.C.M of 1, 4 is 4]
               = 17 /4
    product of the roots(p) = ¼ × 4
                                     = 1
    ∴ quadratic equation is,
        x² - sx + p = 0
     => x² - 17/4x + 4 = 0
     => 4(x² - 17/4x + 4) = 0 [ multiplying both sides by 4 ]
     => 4x² - 17x + 16 = 0
    quadratic polynomial is = 4x² - 17x + 16

    Is a number a polynomial?

    Answer :- Yes, any number is always a polynomial and it is a zero degree polynomial. e.g; 2 is a zero degree polynomial. we can express 2 as, 2 = 2 × 1 = 2.x° = 2x° So 2 can be called as zero degree polynomial.
