Exponents and Logarithms

log a (m  n) = log a m + log a n log 𝑎

𝑚
= log 𝑎 𝑚 − log 𝑎 𝑛 log a b = n a n = b
𝑛

log a n = log b n  log a b

Algebraic Formulae & Applications and Factorisation

(a − b)2 = a2 − 2ab + b2 (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2

(a − b)3 = a3 − 3a2b + 3ab2 − b3 a 2 − b2 = (a + b)(a − b)

(
a3 − b3 = (a − b) a 2 + ab + b2 ) (a + b)2 + (a − b)2 = 2(a2 + b2 )
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca (a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
(
a3 + b3 = (a + b) a 2 − ab + b2 ) (a + b)2 − (a − b)2 = 4ab
