Polynomials Flashcards
A polynomial may contain ……. no of terms
One or ,more than one. (NCERT, Wikipedia)
If seen some wrong info in other Flashcards delete them.
The Greek capital letter sigma ∑ is called as
the summation symbol.
Summation symbol
₆
∑ i² = 3² + 4² + 5² + 6²
i=³
where i represents the index of summation; i is an indexed variable representing each successive term in the series; 3 is the lower bound of summation, and n (6) is the upper bound of summation. The “i = m” under the summation symbol means that the index i starts out equal to m. The index, i, is incremented by 1 for each successive term, stopping when i = n(6).
Constant polymonials ,e.g.
5,6,7 etc
5 = 5x⁰
Zero polynomial
The constant polynomial 0 is called the zero polynomial. Its degree is undefined.
Polynomials should have their degrees as a …….. numbers.
Whole
Zero of a polynomial is also called
The root of a polynomial equation.
