We will discuss these sub-topics :
Definition of a polynomial in one variable, with examples and counter examples. Coefficients of a polynomial, terms of a polynomial and zero polynomial. Degree of a polynomial. Constant, linear, quadratic and cubic polynomials. Monomials, binomials, trinomials. Factors and multiples. Zeros of a polynomial. Motivate and State the Remainder Theorem with examples. Statement and proof of the Factor Theorem. Factorization of ax2 + bx + c, a ≠ 0 where a, b and c are real numbers, and of cubic polynomials using the Factor Theorem. Recall of algebraic expressions and identities. Verification of identities: + and their use in the factorization of polynomials.all identities and their relation-based questions. identities will be like squared terms , cube terms, quadratic formula based relations some word problems based on application skills like distance-time relation .Standard form of a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, (a ≠ 0). Solutions of quadratic equations (only real roots) by factorization, and by using the quadratic formula. Relationship between discriminant and nature of roots. Situational problems based on quadratic equations related to day to day activities.
