General Form of an A.P:

Let us consider a series with n number of terms:

a₁ + a₂ + a₃ + a₄ + a₅ + a₆ + a₇ ……………………………..  = a_n

The above series of numbers is said to form an Arithmetic Progression (A.P) if,

a₂ – a₁ = a₃ – a₂ = a₄ – a₃ = …………………………. […]

Polynomials with degree 2 are called quadratic polynomials. When this polynomial is equated to zero, we get a quadratic equation.

Its general form is a² + bx + c = 0, where a, b and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0.

In many real life situations we deal with quadratic equations.

Suppose, we have to make […]

CHAPTER – 2 : Polynomials

DEGREE OF A POLYNOMIAL:-

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

And expressions like:- x2−−√+
