Mathematics NCERT Grade 9, Chapter 2: PolynomialsPolynomials are a particular type of algebraic expression. Students will also study the remainder theorem and factor theorem in this chapter. Some more algebraic identities will be discussed in this chapter. Their use in factorisation and in evaluating some given expressions will also be discussed. Different polynomials based on the number of terms are discussed in this chapter.
• Polynomial with one term is Monomial
• Polynomial with two terms is Binomial
• Polynomial with three terms is Trinomial
This section also includes the topic degree of a polynomial which refers to the highest power of the variable in a polynomial.
• Polynomial of degree 1 is called linear polynomial.
• Polynomial of degree 2 is called quadratic polynomial.
• Polynomial of degree 3 is called cubic polynomial.
The chapter will move further to the topic zeroes of a polynomial. 3 solved examples are given to make the concept clear to students.
• A zero of a polynomial need not to be 0.
• 0 may be zero of a polynomial.
• Every linear polynomial has one and only one zero.
• A polynomial can have more than one zero.
Exercise 2.2 is based on the same concept.
The next section explains the topic remainder theorem. In this section, the solved example is given in which each step of the solution is explained in detail.
• Remainder Theorem: If p(x) is any polynomial of degree greater than or equal to 1 and p(x) is divided by the linear polynomial x a, then the remainder is p(a).
Section 2.5 covers the topic- Factorisation of Polynomials.
• Factor theorem: x a is a factor of polynomial p(x) if p(a) = 0.
Exercise 2.6 is based on the topic- algebraic identities. 8 identities are discussed in this section. These identities are used to solve problems of factorisation. The last exercise of the chapter is Exercise 2.5.
In the end summary of the chapter is given for quick revision of the chapter Polynomials.

Zero of a polynomial is that value of the variable at which the value of the polynomial is obtained as 0.

(i) p(x) = x + 5

p(x) = 0

x + 5 = 0

x = − 5

Therefore, for x = −5, the value of the polynomial is 0 and hence, x = −5 is a zero of the given polynomial.

(ii) p(x) = x − 5

p(x) = 0

x − 5 = 0

x = 5

Therefore, for x = 5, the value of the polynomial is0 and hence, x = 5 is a zero of the given polynomial.

(iii) p(x) = 2x + 5

p(x) = 0

2x + 5 = 0

2x = − 5

Therefore, for, the value of the polynomial is 0 and hence, is a zero of the given polynomial.

(i) x3 + x2 + x + 1 (ii) x4 + x3 + x2 + x + 1

(i) If (x + 1) is a factor of p(x) = x3 + x2 + x + 1, then p (−1) must be zero, otherwise (x + 1) is not a factor of p(x).

p(x) = x3 + x2 + x + 1

p(−1) = (−1)3 + (−1)2 + (−1) + 1

= − 1 + 1 − 1 + 1 = 0

Hence, x + 1 is a factor of this polynomial.

(ii) If (x + 1) is a factor of p(x) = x4 + x3 + x2 + x + 1, then p (−1) must be zero, otherwise (x + 1) is not a factor of p(x).

p(x) = x4 + x3 + x2 + x + 1

p(−1) = (−1)4 + (−1)3 + (−1)2 + (−1) + 1

= 1 − 1 + 1 −1 + 1 = 1

As p(− 1) ≠ 0,

Therefore, x + 1 is not a factor of this polynomial.

(iii) If (x + 1) is a factor of polynomial p(x) = x4 + 3x3 + 3x2 + x + 1, then p(−1) must be 0, otherwise (x + 1) is not a factor of this polynomial.

p(−1) = (−1)4 + 3(−1)3 + 3(−1)2 + (−1) + 1

= 1 − 3 + 3 − 1 + 1 = 1

As p(−1) ≠ 0,

Therefore, x + 1 is not a factor of this polynomial.

(iv) If(x + 1) is a factor of polynomial p(x) = , then p(−1) must be 0, otherwise (x + 1) is not a factor of this polynomial.

As p(−1) ≠ 0,

(iii) p(x) = x3 − 4 x2 + x + 6, g(x) = x − 3

(i) If g(x) = x + 1 is a factor of the given polynomial p(x), then p(−1) must be zero.

p(x) = 2x3 + x2 − 2x − 1

p(−1) = 2(−1)3 + (−1)2 − 2(−1) − 1

= 2(−1) + 1 + 2 − 1 = 0

Hence, g(x) = x + 1 is a factor of the given polynomial.

(ii) If g(x) = x + 2 is a factor of the given polynomial p(x), then p(−2) must

be 0.

p(x) = x3 +3x2 + 3x + 1

p(−2) = (−2)3 + 3(−2)2 + 3(−2) + 1

= − 8 + 12 − 6 + 1

= −1

As p(−2) ≠ 0,

Hence, g(x) = x + 2 is not a factor of the given polynomial.

(iii) If g(x) = x − 3 is a factor of the given polynomial p(x), then p(3) must

be 0.

p(x) = x3 − 4 x2 + x + 6

p(3) = (3)3 − 4(3)2 + 3 + 6

= 27 − 36 + 9 = 0

Hence, g(x) = x − 3 is a factor of the given polynomial.

= (100)3 − (1)3 − 3(100) (1) (100 − 1)

= 1000000 − 1 − 300(99)

= 1000000 − 1 − 29700

= 970299

(ii) (102)3 = (100 + 2)3

= (100)3 + (2)3 + 3(100) (2) (100 + 2)

= 1000000 + 8 + 600 (102)

= 1000000 + 8 + 61200

= 1061208

(iii) (998)3= (1000 − 2)3

= (1000)3 − (2)3 − 3(1000) (2) (1000 − 2)

= 1000000000 − 8 − 6000(998)

= 1000000000 − 8 − 5988000

= 1000000000 − 5988008

= 994011992

Question 14:

Without actually calculating the cubes, find the value of each of the following:

(i)

(ii)

(i)

Let x = −12, y = 7, and z = 5

It can be observed that,

x + y + z = − 12 + 7 + 5 = 0

It is known that if x + y + z = 0, then

= −1260

(ii)

Let x = 28, y = −15, and z = −13

It can be observed that,

x + y + z = 28 + (−15) + (−13) = 28 − 28 = 0

It is known that if x + y + z = 0, then

Question 15:

Give possible expressions for the length and breadth of each of thefollowing rectangles, in which their areas are given:

The expression given for the area of the rectangle has to be factorised. One of its factors will be its length and the other will be its breadth.

(i)

Therefore, possible length = 5a − 3

And, possible breadth = 5a − 4

(ii)

Therefore, possible length = 5y + 4

And, possible breadth = 7y − 3

Question 16:

What are the possible expressions for the dimensions of the cuboids whose volumes are given below?

Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height

The expression given for the volume of the cuboid has to be factorised. One of its factors will be its length, one will be its breadth, and one will be its height.

(i)

One of the possible solutions is as follows.

Length = 3, Breadth = x, Height = x − 4

(ii)

One of the possible solutions is as follows.

Length = 4k, Breadth = 3y + 5, Height = y − 1
