We also discussed the difference between constant polynomial and zero polynomial. Let\u2019s solve a few examples and MCQs on constant polynomials for revision!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-solved-examples-of-constant-polynomials\">Solved Examples of Constant Polynomials:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Find the constant term in the polynomial <\/strong>$P(x) = 3x^{2} + 7x + 9$<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find the constant term, we look for the term without any variable (term where the degree of x is 0).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, the constant term is 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Determine the degree of the polynomial P(x) = 4.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>P(x) = 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a constant polynomial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can express the polynomial in terms of x as<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>P(x) = 4x<sup>0<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the degree of the polynomial is 0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Find the value of the polynomial P(x) = 5.9 at x = 10.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>P(x) = 5.9 is a constant polynomial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, for any value of x, the polynomial will give the same value, which is 5.9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, P(10) = 5.9<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Find the sum of two constant polynomials: P(x) = 4 and Q(x) =<\/strong><strong>-2<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sum of two constant polynomials is obtained by adding their constant values. It is a constant polynomial again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, P(x) + Q(x) = 4 + (<strong> &#8211;<\/strong> 2) = 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
