Polynomials

A polynomial is an algebraic expression with terms consisting of variables raised to non-negative integer exponents and coefficients. They can be classified by degree (zero, linear, quadratic, cubic) and by the number of terms (monomials, binomials, trinomials). Understanding these classifications helps in analyzing the shape and behavior of polynomial graphs.

Introduction of polynomial

A polynomial is an algebraic expression


with one or more terms, each consisting
of a variable raised to a non-negative
integer exponent, multiplied by a
coefficient
Types of Polynomials

Polynomials can be classified based on their degree and number of terms. The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of its

2
variable, and it determines the shape and behaviour of the polynomial's graph. An example of a polynomial is x +2x-3. This polynomial

2
has 3 terms in it and its degree is 2 since the term with the highest power of 'x' is 'x '.

Some common types of polynomials include linear polynomials, quadratic polynomials, cubic polynomials, and higher-degree

polynomials.

Types of Polynomials Based on Degree

The power of the leading term or the highest power of the variable is called the degree of the polynomial. This is obtained by

arranging the terms of polynomials in the descending order of their powers. Based on the degree of the polynomial, they can be

classified into 4 major types. They are,

● Zero or constant polynomial

● Linear polynomial

● Quadratic polynomial

● Cubic polynomial
Types of Polynomials Based on Terms

There are different types of polynomials with respect to their number of terms. There are polynomials with one term, two terms, three

terms, and even more. Based on the number of terms, polynomials are classified as:

● Monomials: A monomial is a polynomial expression that contains only one term. For example 4t, 21x, 2y, 9pq.
Furthermore, 2x + 5x + 10x is a monomial because these are like terms added together that result in 17x, which
is a single term.
2
● Binomials: A binomial is a polynomial with two, unlike terms. For example, 3x + 4x is a binomial as it contains

2 2
two unlike terms, that is, 3x and 4x . and 10pq + 13p .

2 3 2
● Trinomials: A trinomial is a polynomial with three, unlike terms. For example, 3x + 5x – 6x and 12pq + 4x – 10.
