2.1    INTRODUCTION :  
    In earlier classes, we have learnt about polynomials in one variable, their degrees, factors, multiples and zeros (or roots). In this chapter, we will study about the geometrical representation of linear quadratic  and cubic polynomials and geometrical meaning of their zeros. We will also study about the relationship between the zeros and coefficients of a polynomial. LCM and HCF of two or more polynomials, rational expressions, basic operation on polynomials and concept of square root of polynomials.
