ALGEBRA FORMULAS

Laws of Exponents

  • (am)(an) = am+n
  • (ab)m = ambm
  • (am)n = amn
  • Fractional Exponents
  • a0 = 1
  • (am)/(an) = am-n
  • a-m= 1/(am)

Quadratic Formula

In an equation like ax2 + bx + c = 0

You can solve for x using the Quadratic Formula:

Quadratic Formulas

Binomial Theorem

  • (a + b)1 = a + b
  • (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
  • (a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
  • (a + b)4 = a4 + 4a3b + 6a2b2 + 4ab3 + b4 ...and so on...

Difference of Squares

  • a2 - b2 = (a - b)(a + b)

Rules of Zero

  • 0/x = 0 where x is not equal to 0.
  • a0 = 1
  • 0a = 0
  • a*0 = 0
