NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 2 Polynomials covers concepts of polynomial equations. A polynomial is an expression made up of variables and coefficients that involve the basic arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication as well as the exponential negative exponential of variables.

Class 10 Maths Chapter 2 Polynomials belongs to Unit 2 Algebra which has a weightage of 20 marks in the CBSE Class 10 Maths Examination. Usually, 1 question is asked from the chapter in the exam. The NCERT Solutions covers the concepts of the division algorithm for polynomials of integers and whether the zeroes of these quadratic polynomials are related to their coefficients.

Important Topics in Class 10 Maths Chapter 2 Polynomials

  • Algebraic Expressions are expressions formed of variables and constants along with the mathematical operators.
An example of an algebraic expression: 3x2y + 4xy + 5x + 6 
  • A polynomial is an algebraic expression that has an exponent on any variable as a whole number.

For example: x– 5x + 11
  • Degree of Polynomial is the highest power of a monomial present in a polynomial expression. The highest exponential power is known as the degree of a polynomial.
For example: The degree of the polynomial x+ 2x2 + 3x + 2 is 3, as the highest power of x in the given expression is 3.
  • Polynomials can be classified on the basis of:
    a) Number of terms – Monomial, Binomial, and Trinomial

- Monomial – A polynomial with one term. Example: 2x and 9xy

- Binomial – A polynomial with two terms. Example: 3x+ x, 9x + 4

- Trinomial – A polynomial with three terms. Example: 7x+ 9x + 2

b) Degree of the polynomial – Linear Polynomial, Cubic Polynomial and Quadratic Polynomial

- Linear Polynomial – A polynomial with degree equal to one. For example, 9x + 7 is a linear polynomial.

- Quadratic Polynomial – A polynomial with its degree as two. For example, 5x+ 2x + 1 is a quadratic polynomial.

- Cubic Polynomial – A polynomial with its degree as three. For example, 4x3+ 5x+ 2x +16 is a cubic polynomial.
