How this identity of (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab is obtained: Taking LHS of the identity:
(a + b)
2 This can also be written as:
= (a + b) (a + b)
Multiply as we do multiplication of two binomials and we get:
= a(a + b) + b(a + b)
= a
2 + ab + ab + b
2 Add like terms and we get:
= a
2 + 2ab + b
2 Rearrange the terms and we get:
= a
2 + b
2 + 2ab
Hence, in this way we obtain the identity i.e. (a + b)
2 = a
2 + b
2 + 2ab
How this identity of (a - b)2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab is obtained: Taking LHS of the identity:
(a - b)
2 This can also be written as:
= (a - b) (a - b)
Multiply as we do multiplication of two binomials and we get:
= a(a - b) - b(a - b)
= a
2 - ab - ab + b
2 Add like terms and we get:
= a
2 - 2ab + b
2 Rearrange the terms and we get:
= a
2 + b
2 - 2ab
Hence, in this way we obtain the identity i.e. (a - b)
2 = a
2 + b
2 - 2ab
How this identity of a2 - b2 = (a + b) (a - b) is obtained: Taking RHS of the identity:
(a + b) (a - b)
Multiply as we do multiplication of two binomials and we get:
= a(a - b) + b(a - b)
= a
2 - ab + ab - b
2 Solve like terms and we get:
= a
2 - b
2 Hence, in this way we obtain the identity i.e. a
2 - b
2 = (a + b) (a - b)
- (a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
- (a - b)3 = a3 - 3a2b + 3ab2 - b3
- a2 + b2 = (a – b)2 + 2ab
- (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2ac + 2bc
- (a – b – c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 – 2ab – 2ac + 2bc
