POLYNOMIALS
A polynomial p(x) is in the form p(x) = anxn + an-1 xn-1 + _________ + a2x2 + a1x + a0
The numerical constants an, an-1– a2 a1 are called coefficients of xn, xn-1…X2, x respectively while a0 is called the constant term of the polynomial. The highest power n is called the degree of the polynomial. Examples
P(x) = 3x2 + 2x + 5, degree 2
H(x) = x4 + 3x2 – 6x degree 4
Example: Given that P(x) = 7x3 – 4x2 + 3x + 4
P1(x) = 5x2 + 6x + 1 Find P(x) + P1 (x) (b) P(x) – P1(x)
Solution
- P(x) + P1(x) = (7x3 – 4x2 + 3x + 4)
(+) 5x2 + 6x + 1
= 7x3 + x2 + 9x + 5
- P(x) – P1(x) = 7x3 – 4x2+ 3x + 4
(-) 5x2 + 6x + 1
7x3 – 9x2 – 3x + 3
2. Given that P1(x) = 4x3 – 2x2 + 3x – 1 and P2(x) = 3x2 – 4. Find P1(x) x P2(x)
Solution
P1(x) x P2(x) = (3x2 – 4) (4x3 – 2x2 + 3x – 1)
= 3x2(4x3 – 2x2 + 3x – 1)-4(4x3 – 2x2 + 3x – 1)
= 12x5 – 6x4 + 9x3 – 3x2 – 16x3 + 8x2 – 12x + 4
= 12x5 – 6x4 – 7x3 + 5x2 – 12x + 4
Division of Polynomials
If a polynomial P(x) is divided by another Polynomial D(x) to obtain Q(x) Then we have P(x) = D(x) x Q(x) + R where R is the remainder
P (x) is the dividend
D(x) is the divisor
Q(x) is the Quotient
Example: Divide the polynomial P1 (x) = 3x2 – 2x + 4 by the polynomial P(x) = x + 2
Solution
Step 1: divide the first term of the poly by the first term of the divisor to get the first term of quotient
Step 2: Multiply each term of the division by the quotient
3x
Step 3: Subtract the product obtain in step 2 from the first two terms of the dividend and
3x
add the next term of the dividend.
(-)-8x + 4
Step 4: Using -8x + 4 as a new dividend repeat
3x – 8
Steps 1, 2 and 3.
(-) – 8x + 4
-8x – 16
20
Note x + 2 is the divisor, 3x2 – 4x + 4 the dividend 3x – 8 is the quotient and x the remainder.
2) Divide 4x3 + 6x2– 2x + 7 by 2x – 3 and hence find the quotient and the remainder.
2x2 + 6x + 8
12x2 – 2x Quotient = 2x2 + 6x + 8
12x2 – 18x Remainder = 31
16x + 7
16x – 24

Exercise: Find the quotient and remainder when
- 2x4 – 3x3 + x2 – 4x + 5 is divided by x2 + 3x + 1
- X3 + 8 is divided by x2 – 2x + 4
Zeros of Polynomials
To find the zeros of the polynomial P(x), Put P(x) = 0 and solve the corresponding equation
Examples: Find the zeros of the polynomial
- P(x) = x2 – 5x + 6 (b) P2 (x) = x2– 1
Solution
- P1(x) = 0
X2 – 5x + 6 = 0
(x – 3) (x – 2) = 0
Either x = 3 or x = 2
- P2(x) = 0
X2 – 1 = 0
(x + 1) (x -1) = 0
X = -1 or x = 1
The Remainder Theorem
It states that “if a polynomial f(x) is divided by x-a the remainder is f (a)
Proof
The polynomial function f(x) can be written as
f(x) = (x – a) Q(x) + R where x –a is the divisor and Q(x) quotient, R is remainder
Put x = a into (1)
f(a) = (a – a) Q(a)
f (a) = R
Example find the remainder when
- f(x) = (x + 3) (x – 2) (x + 2) is divided x + 1
- f(x) = 3x3 – 4x2 + 2x + 3 is divided by x – 1
Solution
- Let x+1 = 0, x = -1
F(x) = (x + 3) (x + 2) (x + 2)
f(-1) = (-1 + 3) (-1-2) (-1 + 2)
= (2)(-3)(1)
= -6
R = -6
- Let x -1 = 0, x = 1
f(x) = 3x3– 4x2 + 2x + 3
= 3(1) 3 – 4 (1)2 + 2(1) + 3
= 3-4 + 2 + 3
= 4
R = 4
Exercise
- Find the remainder when f(x) = 2x3 + 3x2 – 4x + 1 is divided by 2x – 1
- Show that x + 1 is a factor of f(x) = 2x3 + 3x2 – 5x -6
Assignment: Given that the poly f(x) = 6 –x – x2 is a factor of the poly g(x) = ax3 + 5x2 + bx = 18. Find

- Find the value of k
- Factorize f(x) completely and state its zeros
- Find the remainder when g(x) is divided by x + 2
Solution
- Let x-1 = 0, x = 1, f(1) = 0
f(x) = 4x3 – 4x2 – x + k
f(1) = 4(1)3 – 4(1)2 – 1 + k = 0
K = 1
- f(x) = 4x3 – 4x2 – x + 1
4x2 – 1
(-) 4x3 – 4x2
– x + 1
(-) – x + 1
– –
Exercise: When the polynomial f(x) = (p-1) x3 + px2 + qx + r where p, q and r are constants, is divided by x+2 and x – 1 the remainders are -5 and 4 respectively. If x + 1 is a factor of f(x), find the values of p, q and r. Hence factorize f(x) completely

LOGICAL REASONING
An intelligent System: it is a system that senses its environment and learns, for each situation which action permits it to reach its objective.
Basic issues in intelligent system. (Assignment)
Fundamental Definition
- A proposition or statement
It is a sentence that is either true or false. For example “four plus four equals eight” and Obama is president of Nigeria” are either statement or preposition. While the first statement is true the second is false.
Truth Value:
It is the truth or falsify of a statement. A true statement has truth value T while a false statement has the value F.
Exercise: State the truth value of the following statements
- The earth is a planet
- Come out
- What is a great day
- I am a Nigerian
- X + 5 = 9
Connectives
They are words and phrases or systems that are sued to formed compound preposition
| Connective word | Symbol | Compound statement formed | Symbolic form |
| not | Negation | P | |
| And | Conjunction | P q | |
| Or | Disjunction | P q | |
| If — then | Implication | P q | |
| If and only if | biconditional | p q | |
Negation
Given that P is a statement, the negation of p denoted by is a statement that is false when p is true and true when p is false.
Example: P: Abuja is in Nigeria
Abuja is not in Nigeria
Note the following statements are equivalent in meaning
- All human are mortals
- Every human is a mortal
- Each human is a mortal
- Any human is a mortal
The negation of the statement P: All goats are mammals is any of the following
~P: some goats are not mammals
~P: there exists a goat which is not a mammal
~P: at least one goat is not a mammal
Conjunction:
If p and q are two given propositions the conjunction is the compoundproposition denoted p n q. p q is true when both p and q are true
Example: let p: 12 is a multiple of 4
q: 12 is a factor of 24
p n q: 12 is a multiple of 4 and a factor of 24 and p n q is true since both p and q are true.
2. Let a: 3 + 4 = 7
b: 3 – 7 = 4
a b: 3 + 4 = 7 and 3 – 7 =4
a b is false
Exercise: Form the conjunction of p and q
- P: Grace is intelligent q: She is hardworking
- P: The weather is hot q: Rain is falling
- P: 6x – 2 = 40 q: x < 8
Disjunction
The disjunction p q is true if at least one of p or q is true. If is false where both of p and q are false.
Example: Consider the following statement
P: Lagos is in Nigeria
Q: Lagos is the capital of Nigeria
R: Lagos is in Ghana
S: Lagos is the most populated state in Nigeria
Write the following disjunction and state the truth value
- P v q
- P v s
- q v r
- r v s
ii. State the truth value of the following compound statements
- P q
- P s
- Q r
- R s
Conditional Proposition
Given that p and q are propositions. A constitutional proposition denoted P q has the following meaning
- P implies q
- P is sufficient for q
- Q is necessary for p
- P only of q
- If p then q
- Q follows from p
- Q is the consequences of p
Example: P: this month is January
Q: Next month is February
P : of this month is January then next month is February
2. P: Rain falls, q: I will wear a rain coat
P q: I will wear a rain coat if rain falls.
Note: The conditional statement p q is when the hypothesis (p) is true and the conclusion (q) is false
Examples: (1) P: If Lagos is in Nigeria then it is Africa is true
(2) If Lagos is in Nigeria then it is in Europe false.

WEEK 9
BICONDITIONAL STATEMENTS
Given that p and q are statements the bi conditional statement P q means
- P if and only if q
- P implies q and q implies p
- P is necessary and sufficient for q
Examples: let p and q the statements
P: He is lazy q: He will be a successful business man; write the following statement in symbolic form. “He will be a successful businessman if and only if he is hardworking
Answer: ~p q or q ~P
Exercise: Ex 3, No 4,5 and 20 page 52 and 53
Quantifiers
- Universal quantifier
Examples:
- All man are wise
- Every orange is sweet
- Any Nigerian is either male or female
Let M denoted the set of men and P the predicate has are wise. The preposition “All men are wise” can be written as ( ) P(x)
Exercise: let m be the set of all men and p the predicate “has conscience” write the preposition all men have conscience”
- Existential Quantifier( )
The symbol is called existential quantifier and reads
i. There exist ii. For some iii. For at least
Example: let N be the set of natural numbers and P(x): x + 5 < 9. Determine the true value of x P(x)
Solution
If XEN then {x: x + 5 < 9} = {1, 2, 3}
Hence ( x P (x) is true.
Introduction to proving Theorem
Theorem: A theorem is a statement that has be proved on the basis of previously established statements such as other theorem.
A theorem has two parts namely hypothesis and conclusion.
The proof of a theorem is a logical argument which demonstrates the fact that the conclusion is a necessary consequence of the hypothesis.
The Principal of Mathematic induction
If P(n) is a statement which involves positive integers n = 1, 2, 3…… then P(n) is true for all positive integers n provided
- P(1) is true
- P(k+1) is true when ever P(k) is true.
