Polynomials Formulas — Class 10 CBSE

Relate zeroes and coefficients of polynomials; perform division algorithm for polynomials.

Key Formulas

Linear (one zero)

\alpha = -\dfrac{b}{a}

Quadratic (sum of zeroes)

\alpha + \beta = -\dfrac{b}{a}

Quadratic (product of zeroes)

\alpha \beta = \dfrac{c}{a}

Cubic (sum)

\alpha + \beta + \gamma = -\dfrac{b}{a}

Cubic (sum of products)

\alpha\beta + \beta\gamma + \gamma\alpha = \dfrac{c}{a}

Cubic (product)

\alpha\beta\gamma = -\dfrac{d}{a}

Division Algorithm

p(x) = g(x) \cdot q(x) + r(x)

Worked Examples

1Using: Linear Equation

Solve 3x + 5 = 20.

Step 1: 3x = 20 - 5 = 15.

Step 2: x = 15 / 3 = 5.

Answer: x = 5

2Using: Algebraic Identity

Expand (a + 3)^2.

Step 1: Using (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

Step 2: = a^2 + 6a + 9.

Answer: a^2 + 6a + 9
