NCERT Solutions Maths Ch-2 Polynomials for Class 9th
Chapter 1 of the NCERT Class 9 Mathematics textbook focuses on polynomials, which are algebraic expressions consisting of variables raised to non-negative integer powers and combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication. The chapter introduces key concepts such as the definition of a polynomial, its standard form, and the classification of polynomials based on their degrees and the number of terms. For instance, a polynomial of degree zero is a constant, while a linear polynomial has a degree of one, a quadratic polynomial has a degree of two, and so forth.
Students learn about the different types of polynomials: monomials (single term), binomials (two terms), and trinomials (three terms). The chapter also covers operations on polynomials, including addition, subtraction, and multiplication, as well as the concept of zeroes of a polynomial, which are the values of the variable that make the polynomial equal to zero. Through various exercises, students practice factorization and understand the relationship between the coefficients and the roots of a polynomial. Overall, this chapter lays the foundation for further studies in algebra and prepares students for more complex mathematical concepts.
