Access the official NCERT Class 10 Mathematics textbook for Chapter 2 – Polynomials PDF. This chapter introduces algebraic expressions called polynomials, their degree, types (linear, quadratic, cubic), and the division algorithm. You’ll learn how to find zeros of polynomials, relate zeros to coefficients, and understand their graphical interpretations—building blocks for advanced algebra.
Chapter Highlights:
- Definition of Polynomial: algebraic expressions with non-negative integer exponents
- Degree of a Polynomial; Linear, Quadratic, Cubic and Higher
- Zeros (Roots) of a Polynomial & Value f(k) at x = k
- Relationship Between Zeros and Coefficients (e.g., α + β = –b/a, αβ = c/a)
- Division Algorithm: p(x) = g(x)·q(x) + r(x)
- Factor Theorem & Using Zeros to Factorise Polynomials
- Graphical Meaning of Zeros – x-axis Intersections
