Formulas and Key Relations

2. Main identities

(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

(a + b + c)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca

a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)

a^2 = (a + b)(a - b) + b^2

3. Factorisation using identities

x^2 + 7x + 12 = (x + 3)(x + 4)

x^2 + 11x + 30 = (x + 5)(x + 6)

x^2 - 5x + 6 = (x - 2)(x - 3)

x^2 + 8x + 15 = (x + 3)(x + 5)

50p^2 + 60pq + 18q^2 = 2(5p + 3q)^2

4. Rational expressions

(x^2 - 7x + 12)/(5x^2 + 5x - 100) = (x - 3)/(5(x + 5))

Identity and Equation

x^2 - 1 = 24 is an equation, not an identity.

Square of a Trinomial

The identity is useful for numbers with three parts, such as 119 = 100 + 10 + 9.

Product of Binomials and Factorisation

(x + a)(x + b) = x^2 + (a + b)x + ab.
