 Algebraic Identities For Class 8 $(a+b)^{2}=a^2+2ab+b^{2}$ $(a-b)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2}$ $\left (a + b \right ) \left (a – b \right ) = a^{2} – b^{2}$ $\left (x + a \right )\left (x + b \right ) = x^{2} + \left (a + b \right )x + ab$ $\left (x + a \right )\left (x – b \right ) = x^{2} + \left (a – b \right )x – ab$ $\left (x – a \right )\left (x + b \right ) = x^{2} + \left (b – a \right )x – ab$ $\left (x – a \right )\left (x – b \right ) = x^{2} – \left (a + b \right )x + ab$ $\left (a + b \right )^{3} = a^{3} + b^{3} + 3ab\left (a + b \right )$ $\left (a – b \right )^{3} = a^{3} – b^{3} – 3ab\left (a – b \right )$<
