What is constant?
Ans:- A symbol having a fixed numerical value is called constant.
Ex:- 9, -6, 4/7, √2 etc
What are variables?
Ans:- A symbol which may be assigned different numerical values is known as a variable.
Ex:- 2ㄫr , here 2ㄫ is constant but r is variable
What are Algebraic expressions?
Ans:- A combination of constants and variables connected by some or all of operations like +, -, x, ➗ is known as an algebraic expression.
Ex:- 5x2 + 9x + 4
4x3 + √2x2 + 5/9x - 8
What is polynomial?
Ans:- An algebraic expression whose exponent is non-negative integer is called polynomial.
Division algorithm for polynomials
From Euclid's division lema , we know that
Dividend = ( Divisor ✕ Quotient ) + Remainder
Applying the same to polynomial,
If f(x) and g(x) are any two polynomial where g(x) ≠ 0 than we can find two other polynomials q(x) and r(x) such that
f(x) = q(x) ✕ g(x) + r(x)
where f(x) = dividend
g(x) = divisor
q(x) = quotient
r(x) = remainder
degree of f(x) ≥ degree of g(x)
degree of g(x) > degree of r(x)
If r(x) = 0 than the polynomial g(x) is a factor of polynomial f(x)
We can also say that polynomial f(x) is a multiple of polynomial g(x)
