Algebra Flashcards
Multiplication of binomials, EWE (each with each)
Square of sum
(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
Square of difference
(a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2
Cube of sum
(a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
Cube of difference
(a – b)3 = a3 – 3a2b + 3ab2 – b3
Difference of squares
a2 – b2 = (a + b) (a – b)
Absolute value of |-a|
|a|
Absolute value of |ab|
|a| |b|
