The second chapter of CBSE Class 10th Mathematics is ‘Polynomials’.
Students will come to know that a polynomial is made up of terms that are only added, subtracted or multiplied. A quadratic polynomial in x with real coefficients is of the form ax² + bx + c, where a, b, c are real numbers with a ≠ 0.
Degree – The highest exponent of the variable in the polynomial is called the degree of polynomial.
