Important algebra identities and questions

Some Basic Formulae:

(a + b)(a – b) = (a² – b²)
(a + b)² = (a² + b² + 2ab)
(a – b)² = (a² + b² – 2ab)
(a + b + c)² = a² + b² + c² + 2(ab + bc + ca)
(a³ + b³) = (a + b)(a² – ab + b²)
(a³ – b³) = (a – b)(a² + ab + b²)
(a³ + b³ + c³ – 3abc) = (a + b + c)(a² + b² + c² – ab – bc – ac)
When a + b + c = 0, then a³ + b³ + c³ = 3abc.
