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)

Often, the simplest way to solve "ax2 + bx + c = 0" for the value of x is to factor the quadratic, set each factor equal to zero, and then solve each factor. But sometimes the quadratic is too messy, or it doesn't factor at all, or you just don't feel like factoring. While factoring may not always be successful, the Quadratic Formula can always find the solution. The Quadratic Formula uses the "a", "b", and "c" from "ax2 + bx + c", where "a", "b", and "c" are just numbers; they are the "numerical coefficients". The Formula is derived from the process of completing the square, and is formally stated as: For ax2 + bx + c = 0, the value of x is given by:
