Expansion :

Expansion is the act of expanding, mathematically speaking, it is removing all the brackets present in the expression. Usually in Maths, we encounter a few expressions where they place two sets of two terms, both in brackets side by side like this (a + b)(a – b). This requiring removing brackets and simplification.

Special Products 

1. (i) (a+b)² = a²+b²+2ab           (ii) (a-b)² = a²+b²-2ab
(iii) (a+b)² + (a-b)² = 2(a²+b²)        (iv) (a+b)² – (a-b)² = 4ab
(v) (a+b) (a-b) = a² – b²

2. (i) [a+(1/a)]² = a²+(1/a²)+2        (ii) [a-(1/a)]² = a²+(1/a²)-2
(iii) [a+(1/a)] [a-(1/a)] = a²+(1/a²)        (iv) [a+(1/a)]²+[a-(1/a)]² = 2 [a²+(1/a)²]
(v) [a+(1/a)]² –  [a-(1/a)]²  = 4

3. (a+b+c)² = a²+b²+c²+2(ab+bc+ca)

4. (i) (x+a)(x+b) = x²+(a+b)x+ab        (ii) (x-a)(x+b) = x²-(a-b)x-ab
(iii) (x+a)(x-b) = x²-(b-a)x-ab            (iv) (x-a)(x-b) = x²-(a+b)x+ab

Binomial Theorem

As the power increases the expansion becomes lengthy and tedious to calculate. A binomial expression that has been raised to a very large power can be easily calculated with the help of Binomial Theorem.

Introduction to the Binomial Theorem :

The Binomial Theorem is the method of expanding an expression which has been raised to any finite power. A binomial Theorem is a powerful tool of expansion, which has application in Algebra, probability, etc.

More Identities

1. (a+b)³ = a³ + b³ + 3ab (a+b)
2. [a + (1/a)]³ = a³ + (1/a³) + 3 {a+(1/a)}
3. (a-b)³ = a³ – b³ – 3ab (a-b)
4. [a – (1/a)]³ = a³ – (1/a³) – 3 {a-(1/a)}
5. (a+b) (a²-ab+b²) = a³ + b³
6. (a-b) (a²+ab+b²) = a³ – b³
7. (a+b+c) (a²+b²+c²-ab-bc-ac) = a³ + b³ + c³ – 3abc
