Important Definitions and Theorems

Polynomial:
A polynomial is a mathematical expression that consists of variables and coefficients. It can have one or more terms.

Factor Theorem:
According to the Factor Theorem, if $P(x)$ is a polynomial and $a$ is a root, then $(x - a)$ is a factor of the polynomial.

Remainder Theorem:
The Remainder Theorem states that when a polynomial $P(x)$ is divided by another polynomial $d(x)$, the remainder is what remains after the division.

Main Concepts and Formule Chapter 2 Class 9 Mathematics

Algebraic identities -
$(x+y)^{2}=x^{2}+2 x y+y^{2}$
$(x-y)^{2}=x^{2}-2 x y+y^{2}$
$x^{2}-y^{2}=(x+y)(x-y)$
$(x+a)(x+b)=x^{2}+(a+b) x+a b$
$(x+y+z)^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}+2 x y+2 y z+2 z x$
$(x+y)^{3}=x^{3}+3 x^{2} y+3 x y^{2}+y^{3}=x^{3}+y^{3}+3 x y(x+y)$
$(x-y)^{3}=x^{3}-3 x^{2} y+3 x y^{2}-y^{3}=x^{3}-y^{3}-3 x y(x-y)$
$x^{3}+y^{3}=(x+y)\left(x^{2}-x y+y^{2}\right)$
$x^{3}-y^{3}=(x-y)\left(x^{2}+x y+y^{2}\right)$
$x^{3}+y^{3}+z^{3}-3 x y z=(x+y+z)\left(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}-x y-y z-z x\right)$

Algebraic expressions are formed using constants, variables, and operators. They can represent a polynomial and can undergo operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
