Here is a list of Algebraic formulas –

a2 – b2 = (a – b)(a + b)
(a+b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
a2 + b2 = (a – b)2 + 2ab
(a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2ac + 2bc
(a – b – c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 – 2ab – 2ac + 2bc
(a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3 ; (a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab(a + b)
(a – b)3 = a3 – 3a2b + 3ab2 – b3
a3 – b3 = (a – b)(a2 + ab + b2)
a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 – ab + b2)
(a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
(a – b)3 = a3 – 3a2b + 3ab2 – b3

(a + b)4 = a4 + 4a3b + 6a2b2 + 4ab3 + b4)

(a – b)4 = a4 – 4a3b + 6a2b2 – 4ab3 + b4)
a4 – b4 = (a – b)(a + b)(a2 + b2)

a5 – b5 = (a – b)(a4 + a3b + a2b2 + ab3 + b4)

If n is a natural number an – bn = (a – b)(an-1 + an-2b+…+ bn-2a + bn-1)

If n is even (n = 2k), an + bn = (a + b)(an-1 – an-2b +…+ bn-2a – bn-1)
If n is odd (n = 2k + 1), an + bn = (a + b)(an-1 – an-2b +…- bn-2a + bn-1)

(a + b + c + …)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + … + 2(ab + ac + bc + ….)

Laws of Exponents (am)(an) = am+n (ab)m = ambm (am)n = amn

Fractional Exponents a0 = 1 aman=am−n am = 1a−m a−m = 1am

Roots of Quadratic Equation

For a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c where a ≠ 0, the roots will be given by

the equation as −b±b2−4ac√2a
Δ = b2 − 4ac is called the discrimination
For real and distinct roots, Δ > 0
For real and coincident roots, Δ = 0
For non-real roots, Δ < 0
If α and β are the two roots of the equation ax2 + bx + c then, α + β = (-b /
a) and α × β = (c / a).
If the roots of a quadratic equation are α and β, the equation will be (x −
α)(x − β) = 0
