Quick Revision Polynomials
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 $a x^{2}+b x+c,$ where $a, b$, $c$ are real numbers with $a \neq 0$
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.
5. If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial $a x^{2}+b x+c,$ then
$\alpha+\beta=-\frac{b}{a}, \quad \alpha \beta=\frac{c}{a}$
6. If $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial $a x^{3}+b x^{2}+c x+d=0,$ then
$\alpha+\beta+\gamma=\frac{-b}{a} \alpha \beta+\beta \gamma+\gamma \alpha=\frac{c}{a}$
and $\alpha \beta \gamma=\frac{-d}{a}$
7. The division algorithm states that given any polynomial $p(x)$ and any non-zero polynomial $g(x)$, there are polynomials $q(x)$ and $r(x)$ such that
p(x)=g(x) q(x)+r(x)
where $\quad r(x)=0$ or degree $r(x)<$ degree $g(x)$

Theorem 1.1 (Euclid’s Division Lemma) : Given positive integers a and b,
there exist unique integers q and r satisfying a = bq + r, 0 ≤ r < b.
Theorem 1.2 (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.
Theorem 1.3: Let $p$ be a prime number. If $p$ divides $a^{2},$ then $p$ divides a, where $a$ is a positive integer.
Theorem 1.4: $\sqrt{2}$ is irrational.
Theorem 1.5: Let $x$ be a rational number whose decimal expansion terminates.
Then $x$ can be expressed in the form $\frac{p}{q},$ where $p$ and $q$ are coprime, and the
prime factorisation of $q$ is of the form $2^{\circ} 5^{m},$ where $n, m$ are non-negative integers.
Theorem 1.6: Let $x=\frac{p}{q}$ be a rational mamber, such that the prime factorisation of $q$ is of the form $2^{n} 5^{\text {" }},$ where $n, m$ are non-negative integers. Then $x$ has a
decimal expansion which terminates.
Theorem 1.7: Let $x=\frac{p}{q}$ be a rational number, such that the prime factorisation of $q$ is not of the form $2^{n} 5$ ", where $n, m$ are non-negative integers. Then, $x$ has a decimal expansion which is non-terminating repeating (recurring).
So we can conclude that the decimal expansion of every rational number is either terminating or non-terminating repeating.
