Polynomials
CBSE Class 9 - Maths Chapter 2
② A Polynomials p(x) in one variable x is an algebric expression in x of the form
p(x) = anxn + an–1xn–1 + ... + a1 x + a0 , where a0 , a1 , a2 ..... an are constant and a n ≠ 0 are called coefficients and n is a positive integer.
③ The highest power of variable x in a polynomial p(x) is called the degree of the polynomial.
④ A polynomial of degree 1 is called a linear polynomial. For e.g. 4x + 9 is a linear polynomial in x.
