• An alg ebraic i dentity is an

algebraic equation which is true 2. If x – – a, then 8. If x+
+ =1, then x³ = –1
for all values of the variable (s). x x
Important Formulae: 1 1
1. (a+b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab (i) x²+ =a2+2 9. If x+ =–1, then x³ =1,
x2 x
2. (a–b)2 = a2 + b2 – 2ab
3. (a+b)2 = (a – b)2 + 4ab 1 1 1
(ii) x4+ = b²–2, where b = a²+2 10. If x+ = 3 then x³+ = 0 x6
4. (a–b)2 = (a + b)2 – 4ab x4 x x³
5. a2–b2 = (a + b) (a–b) = –1 or x6+1 = 0
1
6. (a+b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab(a+b) e.g. x – =3, then 11. If aax + by = m and bx –ay = n
7. (a–b)3 = a3 – b3 x then, (a²+b²) ((x² + y²) = m² + n2
8. (a³+b³) = (a + b) (a2–ab+b2) 1 Note : If the sum of squares of real
9. (a³–b³) = (a – b) (a²+ab+b²) x²+ =3² + 2 = 11 and numbers be zero, then each number
x2
10. ( a+b+c) ² = a² + b² +c ² + is equal to zero i.e.
2(ab+bc+ca) 1 if (x – a)² + (y – b)² + (z – c)² = 0,
x4+ = 11²–2= 119. then
11. a³+b³+c³–3abc x4
x–a=0 x = a,
= (a+b+c) (a²+b²+c²–ab–bc–ca)
1 y–b=0 y = b and
1 3. If x4+ = a, then z–c=0 z=c
= ( a + b + c ) [ ( a – b ) 2+ ( b – c ) 2 x4
2 or if x ²+ y² + z² = 0, then x = 0, y
1 =0&z=0
+ (c–a)²] (i) x²+ = a 2 =b
Note:- x2 Based on Increasing power
a³+b³+c³–3abc = 0, 1 1
(ii) x+ = b 2 Ex.1 If x 3 , find the value of
If {(i) a + b + c = 0 (a b c) x

Here n = a ......(ii) x³ + y³ + y³ – 3xyz = ?
From (i) & (ii) As we know that 36 = x² + y² + z² + 20
m – 1 = n a + b + c = 0 then a³ + b³ + c³ – x² + y² + z² = 16
or m – n– 1 = 0 3abc= 0
