28. • Some Basic Formulae:Some Basic Formulae:
– (a + b) (a - b) = (a2 - b2)
– (a + b)2 = (a2 + b2 + 2ab)
– (a - b)2 = (a2 + b2 - 2ab)
– (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
– (a3 + b3) = (a + b)(a2 - ab + b2)
– (a3 - b3) = (a - b)(a2 + ab + b2)
– When a + b + c = 0, then a3 + b3 + c3 =
3abc.
