Place value Algebraic formulas
Roman numerals (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
Multivariable fractions (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2
a2 + b2 = (a + b)2 – 2ab
Multiplying fractions
a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b)
Dividing fractions
(a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
Ratios and proportions (a – b)3 = a3 – 3a2b + 3ab2 – b3
Calculating percentages a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 – ab + b2)
a3 – b3 = (a – b)(a2 + ab + b2)
Converting percentages to decimals
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + bc + 2ca
