FAQs on RS Aggarwal Solutions: Polynomials (Exercise 2B) - Mathematics (Maths) Class 10

1. How do I find the degree of a polynomial?
Ans. To find the degree of a polynomial, you need to look at the term with the highest exponent. The degree is the value of that exponent. For example, if the highest exponent in a polynomial is 3, then the degree of the polynomial is 3.
2. How do I add or subtract polynomials?
Ans. To add or subtract polynomials, you need to combine like terms. Like terms have the same variables raised to the same powers. Simply add or subtract the coefficients of the like terms while keeping the variables and their exponents the same.
3. How do I multiply polynomials?
Ans. To multiply polynomials, you can use the distributive property or the FOIL method. If you have two polynomials, multiply each term of the first polynomial by each term of the second polynomial, and then combine like terms if possible.
4. What is the remainder theorem?
Ans. The remainder theorem states that if a polynomial f(x) is divided by x-a, then the remainder is equal to f(a). In other words, if you divide a polynomial by a linear factor (x-a), the remainder you get is the value of the polynomial when you substitute x=a.
5. How do I solve polynomial equations?
Ans. To solve polynomial equations, set the equation equal to zero and try to factor it if possible. Then, set each factor equal to zero and solve for the values of x. These values are the solutions to the polynomial equation. If factoring is not possible, you may need to use other methods such as the quadratic formula or synthetic division.
