INTRODUCTION
Formulas :
a) Apply the division lemma to find 'm' and 'n' where a = bm + n, 0 ≤
n < b.
b) If n = 0, the HCF is 'b'. If n ≠ 0, apply Euclid's lemma to 'b' and 'n'.
c) Carry on with the process till the remainder's value is zero. The
divisor will be HCF of (a, b). Also, HCF of (a, b) = HCF (b, n).
Summary :
In this chapter, you have studied the following points: 1. The Fundamental Theorem of
Arithmetic : Every composite number can be expressed (factorised) as a product of primes,
and this factorisation is unique, apart from the order in which the prime factors occur. 2. If p
is a prime and p divides a2, then p divides a, where a is a positive integer. 3. To prove that
2, 3 are irrationals.
CHAPTER : 2 ( POLYNOMIALS )

POLYNOMIALS :
Algebraic Formulas :
(a+b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab.
(a-b)2 = a2 + b2 – 2ab.
(a+b) (a-b) = a2 – b2
(x + a)(x + b) = x2 + (a + b)x + ab.
(x + a)(x – b) = x2 + (a – b)x – ab.
(x – a)(x + b) = x2 + (b – a)x – ab.
(x – a)(x – b) = x2 – (a + b)x + ab.
(a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab(a + b)
Summary :
1. Polynomials of degrees 1, 2 and 3 are called linear,
quadratic and cubic polynomials respectively.
2. A quadratic polynomial in x with real coefficients is of
the form ax2 + bx + c, where a, b, c are real numbers with
a 0.
3. The zeroes of a polynomial p(x) are precisely the x-
coordinates of the points, where the graph of y = p(x)
intersects the x-axis.
4. A quadratic polynomial can have at most 2 zeroes and a
cubic polynomial can have at most 3 zeroes.
