Þ  Any algebraic expression having non zero integral power (whole number) is called polynomial.

Þ If p(x) is a polynomial in x, the highest power of x in p(x) is called the degree of the polynomial p(x).

Þ A polynomial of degree 1 is called a linear polynomial. For example, 2x – 3, √3x+1,y +√3

Þ A polynomial of degree 2 is called a quadratic polynomial. The name ‘quadratic’ has been derived from the word ‘quadrate’, which means ‘square’.       2x2 +  3x + 2 ,y2 + 2

Þ Any quadratic polynomial in x is of the form ax2 + bx + c, where a, b, c are real numbers and a ≠ 0.

Þ A polynomial of degree 3 is called a cubic polynomial e.g. 2 – x3x3, √2 x3.

Þ General form of a cubic polynomial is  ax3 + bx2 + c x + d, where, a, b, c, d are real numbers and a ≠ 0.

Þ If p(x) is a polynomial in x, and if k is any real number, then the value obtained by replacing x by k in p(x), is called the value of p(x) at x = k, and is denoted by p(k). A real number k is said to be a zero of a polynomial p(x), if p (k) = 0.

Þ Thus, the zero of a linear polynomial is related to its coefficients because if is a zero of p(x) = ax b, then (k) = a k + b = 0, i.e., k  = -b/a

Þ  Zero of a linear polynomial ax + b is −b/a

ÞThe graph of y = ax + b is a straight line like the graph of y = ax + b is a straight line passing through the points (– 2, –1) and (2, 7) and straight line straight line intersects the x-axis at exactly one point

ÞThe linear polynomial ax + b, a ≠ 0, has exactly one zero, namely, the x-coordinate of the point (-b/a , 0) where the graph of y = ax + b intersects the x-axis.

Þ The graph of equation y = ax+ + b x + c has one of the two shapes either open upwards like Ãˆ (a > 0 ) or open downwards like Ã‡ ( a < 0) . These curves are called parabolas.

Þ The zeroes of a quadratic polynomial ax2 + bx + c, a ≠ 0, are precisely the x-coordinates of the points where the parabola representing y = ax2 + bx + c intersects the x-axis.

Þ In general, given a polynomial p(x) of degree n, the graph of y = p(x) intersects the x- axis at atmost n[n or less than n]  points.

Þ A polynomial p(x) of degree n has at most n zeroes.

Þ if α and β are the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial p(x) = ax2 + b x + c, a ≠ 0, then you know that x – α and x – β are the factors of p(x). 
Therefore, ax2 + bx + c = a(x – α) (x – β)=  ax2 – a(α + β)x + a α β]

Comparing the coefficients of x2, x and constant terms on both the sides, we get  , a = kb = – k(α + β) and c = kαβ.

This gives            

   Î± + β = -b/a ; Î± β = c/a

 Ãž Relationship between the zeroes of a cubic polynomial and its coefficients of 
ax3 + bx2 + c x + d= a(x-a)(x-b)(x-g)  = ax3 – a(a+b+g)x+ a(ab +bg+ga) - aabg  

Comparing the coefficients of terms on both the sides, we get,  Î± + Î² + Î³ = –b/a; Î± β + Î² γ + Î³ α =c/a; Î± β γ =– d/a
Þ Division algorithm states that given any polynomial p(x) and any non-zero polynomial g(x), there are polynomials q(x) and r(x) such that p(x) = g(xq(x) + r(x), where r(x) = 0 or degree r(x) < degree g(x).

Q.16. It is true to say that for k= 2 the pair of linear equation 3x+y = 1;(2k-1)x + (k-1)y = 2k+1 has no solution. Justify

Ans: Given system of equations is: 
3x+y=1 and
(2k-1)x+(k-1)y=2k+1
They can be rewrite as:
3x + y - 1 = 0 and
(2k-1)x + (k-1)y - (2k+1) = 0 
 We know that, for the given system to have no solution, a1/a2 = b1/b2 ¹ c1/c2
Þ 3/(2k-1) = 1/(k-1)  
3k - 3 = 2k - 1
k = 3-1
k = 2
Hence, for k = 2, the given system of equation will have no solution.

Q.17. In a competition, one mark is awarded for every correct answer and half mark is deducted for every wrong answer. Jayanthi answered 120 questions and got 90 marks. How many questions did she answer correctly?

Ans: Let the number of questions correctly answered be x

Therefore, number of questions incorrectly answered will be 120 - x.

According to the given condition,

1× x – (1/2)(120-x) = 90

⇒ x - 60 +(1/2)( x = 90

⇒ (3/2) x = 150
⇒ x= 100

Class 09 Atoms and Molecules Numerical Problem based on Law of chemical Combination Law of conservation of mass Law of constant proportion Empirical formula 1. If 10 grams of CaCO 3 on heating gave 4.4g of CO 2 and 5.6g of CaO, show that these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.(Based on Law of conservation of mass) Solution:  Mass of the reactants = 10g ;  Mass of the products = 4.4 + 6.6g = 10g Since the mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products, the observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass. 2. 1.375 g of cupric oxide was reduced by heating and the weight of copper that remained was 1.098g.  In another experiment 1.179 g of copper was dissolved in nitric acid and the resulting copper nitrate was converted into cupric oxide by ignition .
