'''Solution for the Problems of Chapter 8-Polynomials 10 STD'''

Find the zeroes of the following polynomials and verify the result. We can solve the exercise problems graphically visualising

Interpretation of the given problem
Algebraic interpretation What do we mean by a root, or zero, of a polynomial function? It is a solution to the polynomial equation, P(x) = 0. It is that value of x that makes the polynomial function equal to 0 Graphical Interpretation Zeros of a polynomial or Roots of a polynomial function is that value of x where the graph crosses or touches the x-axis. ( At the x-intercept on the x-axis y = 0)
 * 1) Interpreting What are Zeros of a polynomial function?
 * 1) Identifying the degree of a Polynomial function
 * 2) Evey polynomial function is interpreted algebraically,numerically and Graphically
 * 3) Every polynomial function generates different values for different values of x
 * 4) Every polynomial function can be plotted on a graph and the behaviour of the graph varies with the polynomial
 * 5) If the product of two linear expression is a polynomial,then that polynomial function can be factorised as (x+a)(x+b)=$$x^2$$+x(a+b)+ab

Methods/Steps for Solving
Algebraic method: (x+a)(x+b)=$$x^2$$+x(a+b)+ab Graphical method
 * Factorising by inspection is based on the backwards or indirect use of the identity
 * Factorising by spliting the middle term and grouping
 * Equating Polynomial to zero
 * Finding the values of x
 * every function is a relationship of x and p(x) values, we can create a table of values for any polynomial function, these are just the values that can be plotted on a coordinate axes. In other words, a table of values is simply some  points with (x,p(x)) as coordinates.Find the value of x for which p(x) becomes zero

Concepts to be built
Can we look at the table values to  analyse a graph? Analysing Quadratic polynomial function based on its symmetry
 * A polynomial function can have one Zero or two or multiple Zeros.
 * Alinear polynomial has single Zero,a Quadratic polynomial has Double Zeros and so on
 * This can be found by number of values we get in factorisation or by investigating how many times a graph touces x-axis(if x is a real vale?)
 * Record the Observations
