2. Special Products of Two Binomials

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

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

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

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

3. Product of Sum and Difference

(x + y)(x - y) = x^2 - y^2

x^2 - y^2 = (x + y)(x - y)

4. Expansions of Squares

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

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

(a + 1/a)^2 = a^2 + 1/a^2 + 2

(a - 1/a)^2 = a^2 + 1/a^2 - 2

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