PSEB Class 9 Polynomials Practice

Polynomials is an important Class 9 Mathematics chapter that introduces algebraic expressions made up of variables, constants, and non-negative integral powers of variables. Students learn how to identify polynomials, classify them by number of terms and degree, evaluate polynomial values, and understand zeroes of polynomials.

Questions from this chapter may ask students to find degree, coefficient and constant term, identify monomials, binomials and trinomials, classify linear, quadratic and cubic polynomials, calculate the value of a polynomial, use the remainder theorem, apply the factor theorem, and factorise expressions using standard algebraic identities.

Use this 20-question practice test before broader Class 9 Mathematics revision. After completing the test, review every explanation carefully and repeat the test after revising weak areas such as degree, zeroes, factor theorem, remainder theorem, factorisation, and algebraic identities.

What to Review for Polynomials

Focus on polynomial definitions, degree, zeroes, theorems, factorisation, and identities.

Polynomial Basics

Review polynomial in one variable, term, coefficient, constant term, variable, exponent, degree, zero polynomial, constant polynomial, monomial, binomial, and trinomial.

Zeroes and Theorems

Practice value of a polynomial, zero of a polynomial, remainder theorem, factor theorem, division by x - a, checking whether a number is a zero, and checking whether a linear expression is a factor.

Factorisation and Identities

Revise factorisation by common factors, splitting the middle term, x² - a², (a + b)², (a - b)², (a + b)(a - b), and simple cubic identities used in polynomial simplification.

Key Polynomials Concepts to Remember

Before repeating the test, make sure you can identify the degree and type of a polynomial correctly. Most questions become easier when you first check the powers of the variable, then look at the number of terms, coefficients, and possible factors.

Common Mistakes in Polynomials Questions

Polynomials questions often depend on exact definitions and careful substitution. When checking your result, see whether one of these common mistakes affected your answer:

  • Thinking expressions with negative powers are polynomials
  • Thinking expressions with variables in the denominator are polynomials
  • Confusing degree with number of terms
  • Forgetting that the degree of a non-zero constant polynomial is 0
  • Assigning a fixed degree to the zero polynomial
  • Confusing coefficient with constant term
  • Confusing monomial, binomial, and trinomial
  • Forgetting that a zero of p(x) makes p(x) equal to 0
  • Using x + a as x - a in the remainder theorem
  • Forgetting that the remainder on division by x - a is p(a)
  • Forgetting that x - a is a factor if p(a) = 0
  • Expanding (a + b)² as a² + b² only
  • Confusing x² - a² with (x - a)²
  • Making sign errors while substituting negative values
  • Forgetting to check all terms before finding the degree

Polynomials Practice FAQ

Common questions about this PSEB Class 9 Mathematics Polynomials practice test.

Yes. The Polynomials practice test is free to use and does not require registration, payment, or a subscription.

The test contains 20 multiple-choice questions with four answer options, instant result checking, and detailed explanations.

Review terms, coefficients, constant term, degree, monomial, binomial, trinomial, linear, quadratic and cubic polynomials, zeroes of polynomials, remainder theorem, factor theorem, factorisation, and algebraic identities.

A polynomial is an algebraic expression made up of constants, variables, and non-negative integral powers of variables.

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the polynomial, provided the polynomial is not the zero polynomial.

A zero of a polynomial p(x) is a value of x for which p(x) becomes 0.

The remainder theorem says that when a polynomial p(x) is divided by x - a, the remainder is p(a).
