    Study Notes

    Real Numbers

    • HCF (a, b) × LCM (a, b) = a × b

    Polynomials

    Quadratic Polynomials

    • For a quadratic polynomial p(x) = ax² + bx + c, where a ≠ 0:
      • Sum of zeroes = α + β = -b/a
      • Product of zeroes = αβ = c/a

    Cubic Polynomials

    • For a cubic polynomial p(x) = ax³ + bx² + cx + d, where a ≠ 0:
      • Sum of zeroes = α + β + γ = -b/a
      • Product of zeroes = αβγ = -d/a
      • Sum of product of zeroes taken two at a time = αβ + βγ + γα = c/a

    Algebraic Identities

    • (a + b)² = a² + b² + 2ab
    • (a - b)² = a² + b² - 2ab
    • a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)
    • (a + b)³ = a³ + b³ + 3a²b + 3ab²
    • (a - b)³ = a³ - b³ - 3a²b + 3ab²
    • (a + b + c)² = a² + b² + c² + 2(ab + bc + ca)
    • a³ - b³ = (a - b)(a² + b² + ab)
    • a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² + b² - ab)
    • a³ + b³ + c³ - 3abc = (a + b + c)(a² + b² + c² - ab - bc - ca)

    Special Case

    • If a + b + c = 0, then a³ + b³ + c³ = 3abc
