ALGEBRA FORMULAS
Algebra is a branch of Mathematics that substitutes letters for numbers. An algebraic equation depicts a scale, what is done on one side of
the scale with a number is also done to either side of the scale. The numbers are constants. Algebra also includes real numbers, complex
numbers, matrices, vectors and much more. X, Y, A, B are the most commonly used letters that represent the algebraic problems and equation.

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) 

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)

SOLVED EXAMPLES

Question 1: Find out the value of 52 – 32

Solution:
Using the formula a2 – b2 = (a – b)(a + b)
where a = 5 and b = 3
(a – b)(a + b)
= (5 – 3)(5 + 3)
= 2 × 8
= 16

Question 2: 43 × 42 = ?
Solution:
Using the exponential formula (am)(an) = am+n
where a = 4
43 × 42
= 43+2
= 45
= 1024
