POLYNOMIALS

● ‘n’ is the degree of the polynomial.

● Exponent of the polynomial is always a whole number

1. The degree of a non-zero constant polynomial is zero.

2. Highest power of the variable in a polynomial as the degree of the polynomial
3. A polynomial of degree ‘2’ is called a quadratic polynomial. Degree ‘3’ a cubic
polynomial
4. The degree of the zero polynomial is not defined. Polynomial is a zero polynomial
when all coefficients and constants are zero(0).

1. A real number ‘a’ is a zero of a polynomial p(x) if p(a) = 0. In this case, a is also
called a root of the equation p(x) = 0.

2. Remainder Theorem : If p(x) is any polynomial of degree greater than or equal to 1

and p(x) is divided by the linear polynomial (x – a), then the remainder is p(a).

3. Factor Theorem : (x – a) is a factor of the polynomial p(x), if p(a) = 0. Also, if x – a

is a factor of p(x), then p(a) = 0.

 2. QUADRILATERALS

● Angle sum property: Sum of the angles of a quadrilateral( 4 sided figure) is 360°.

A quadrilateral is a :

Parallelogram Rectangle Square Rhombus Trapezium

1. Opposite sides 1. Opposite 1. All sides 1. All sides 1. One pair

are equal sides are are equal are equal of
equal opposite
sides are
parallel

2. Opposite angles 2. All internal 2. All internal 2. All internal

are equal angles are 90 angles are 90 angles are 90
degrees degrees degrees

3. Diagonals 3. Diagonals 3. Diagonals 3. Diagonals

other and are degrees and are degrees and are degrees and are
not equal equal equal not equal

Mid-point theorem: In a triangle, the line segment joining the mid points of any two sides is
parallel to the third side and in half of it and its converse.

● The quadrilateral formed by joining the mid-points of the sides of a quadrilateral, in order,
is a parallelogram.
● The diagonal divides a parallelogram into two congruent triangles

3. CIRCLES
1. A circle divides the plane on which it lies into three parts. They are:
(i) inside the circle, which is also called the interior of the circle;
(ii) the circle and
(iii) outside the circle, which is also called the exterior of the circle

 1. Equal chords of a circle (or of congruent circles) subtend equal angles at the centre.

2. The perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord and
conversely, the line drawn through the centre of a circle to bisect a chord is
perpendicular to the chord

3. Equal chords of a circle (or of congruent circles) are equidistant from the centre (or their
respective centres) and conversely.

In the figure, if PQ = RS, then OM =OL.

 4. The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any
point on the remaining part of the circle.

Angle POQ = 2( Angle PAQ)

5. Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal. I.e [AnglePAQ = Angle PCQ] in the
given figure.

6. The sum of either of the pair of the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180° and
its converse

5. STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY

1. Probability or Empirical probability or experimental probability of an event,

P(E) = (No. of trials in which E has happened) / ( Total number of trials)

2. The Probability of an event lies between 0 and 1.
