Formulae for solving Algebraic expressions
(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
(a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2
a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b)
(a + b)2 – (a – b)2 = 4ab
(a + b)2 + (a – b)2 = 2(a2 + b2)
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
(a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab(a + b)
(a – b)3 = a3 – b3 – 3ab(a – b)
(a + b + c)3 = a3 + b3 + c3 + 3a2 (b + c) + 3b2 (c + a) + 3c2 (a + b) + 6abc
a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 – ab + b2)
a3 – b3 = (a – b)(a2 + ab + b2)
(x + a)(x + b) = x2 + (a + b)x + ab
If a + b + c = 0, then, a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc
