    This document summarizes key theorems and remarks from Chapter 1 of an algebra textbook. It outlines the binomial square expansion theorem, which defines the expansions of (x + y)2, (x - y)2, and (x + y + z)2. It also presents Simon's Favorite Factoring Trick theorem, which states that an expression of the form xy + kx + jy + jk can be factored as (x + j)(y + k). A remark notes that this trick can be applied when an expression contains xy, x, and y terms.

    Algebra

    Theorem 1.10.3 (Binomial Square Expansions)

    (x + y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y 2 = (x − y)2 + 4xy

    (x − y)2 = x2 − 2xy + y 2 = (x + y)2 − 4xy

    (x + y)2 + (x − y)2 = 2(x2 + y 2 )

    (x + y)2 − (x − y)2 = 4xy

    (x + y + z)2 = x2 + y 2 + z 2 + 2(xy + yz + xz)

    1.10.2 Simon’s Favorite Factoring Trick


    Theorem 1.10.4 (Simon’s Favorite Factoring Trick)

    xy + kx + jy + jk = (x + j)(y + k)

    Remark 1.10.5
    You can generally apply this factorization when you have xy, x, and y terms. After
    applying the factorization, you can then find all possible values for each of your terms in
    your factorization (remember negatives!).
