Laws of Exponents
(am)(an) = am+n
(ab)m = ambm
(am)n = amn
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:
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
a/0 is undefined (you can't do it)
