ALGEBRA FORMULAS - SPECIAL PRODUCTS, EXAMPLES, EXERCISE, LINKS TO OTHER FORMULAS

Please study Polynomials before Algebra Formulas,
if you have not already done so.

There, we discussed definition, simplified form, addition,
subtraction, multiplication etc. of Polynomials.

That knowledge is a prerequisite here.

Here, We deal with Some Special Products in Polynomials.

Certain products of Polynomials occur more often
in Algebra. They are to be considered specially.

These are to be remembered as Formulas in Algebra.

Remembering these formulas in Algebra is as important
as remembering multiplication tables in Arithmetic.

We give a list of these Formulas and Apply
them to solve a Number of problems.

We give Links to other Formulas in Algebra.

Here is the list of Formulas in
Polynomials which are very useful in Algebra.

Formulas in Polynomials :

Algebra Formula 1 in Polynomials:

Square of Sum of Two Terms:

(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

(a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b²

(a + b)(a - b) = a² - b²

(a + b)(a² - ab + b²) = a³ + b³

(a - b)(a² + ab + b²) = a³ - b³

(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ = a³ + 3ab(a + b) + b³

(a - b)³ = a³ - 3a²b + 3ab² - b³ = a³ - 3ab(a - b) - b³

(a + b + c)² = a² + b² + c² + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca

(a + b + c)(a² + b² + c² - ab - bc - ca) = a³ + b³ + c³ - 3abc

(x + a)(x + b) = x² + x(a + b) + ab

(ax + b)(cx + d) = acx² + x(ad + bc) + bd

(x + a)(x + b)(x + c) = x³ + x²(a + b + c) + x(ab + bc + ca) + abc

Here a, b, c, d, x are all real numbers.

Each of the letters in fact represent a TERM.

e.g. The above Formula 1 can be stated as
(First term + Second term)²
= (First term)² + 2(First term)(Second term) + (Second term)²

Similarly in other Formulas also,
we can replace each of the letters by a TERM.

Progressive Learning of Math : Algebra Formulas

Recently, I have found a series of math curricula
(Both Hard Copy and Digital Copy) developed by a Lady Teacher
who taught everyone from Pre-K students to doctoral students
and who is a Ph.D. in Mathematics Education.

This series is very different and advantageous
over many of the traditional books available.
These give students tools that other books do not.
Other books just give practice.
These teach students “tricks” and new ways to think.

These build a student’s new knowledge of concepts
from their existing knowledge.
These provide many pages of practice that gradually
increases in difficulty and provide constant review.

These also provide teachers and parents with lessons
on how to work with the child on the concepts.

The series is low to reasonably priced and include

Elementary Math curriculum

and

Algebra Curriculum.
