Some important points to revise from the chapter are:

• A polynomial p(x) in one variable x is an algebraic expression in x of the form p(x) = a_nxⁿ + a_n–1x^{n – 1} + . . . + a₂x² + a₁x + a₀ , where a₀ , a₁ , a₂ , . . ., a_n are constants and a_n ≠ 0.

• a₀, a₁, a₂, . . ., a_n are respectively the coefficients of x⁰, x, x², . . ., xⁿ and n is called the degree of the polynomial.

• A polynomial of degree one is called a linear polynomial.

• A polynomial of degree two is called a quadratic polynomial.

• A real number ‘a’ is a zero of a polynomial p(x) if p(a) = 0.

• Every linear polynomial in one variable has a unique zero.

• 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).

• Factor Theorem: x – a is a factor of the polynomial p(x), if p(a) = 0. Also, if x – a is a factor of p(x), then p(a) = 0.

• (x + y + z)² = x² + y² + z² + 2xy + 2yz + 2zx

• (x + y)³ = x³ + y³ + 3xy(x + y)

• (x – y)³ = x³ – y³ – 3xy(x – y)

• x³ + y³ + z³ – 3xyz = (x + y + z)(x² + y² + z² – xy – yz – zx)
