Polynomial identities are equations that hold true for all possible values of the variable. When solving problems with polynomial identities, identify the pattern to see if the form is simplified or factored form, and then apply the identity and solve.

A step-by-step guide to polynomial identity

Polynomial identity refers to an equation that is always true regardless of the values assigned to the variables. We use polynomial identities to expand or factorize polynomials.

We must learn polynomial identities in mathematics. Four important identities of the polynomial are listed below.

\(\color{blue}{\left(a\:+\:b\right)^2=\:a^2+\:2ab\:+\:b^2}\)
\(\color{blue}{\left(a\:−\:b\right)^2=\:a^2−\:2ab\:+\:b^2}\)
\(\color{blue}{\left(a\:+\:b\right)\left(a\:−\:b\right)\:=\:a^2−\:b^2}\)
\(\color{blue}{\left(x\:+\:a\right)\left(x\:+\:b\right)\:=\:x^2+\:x\left(a\:+\:b\right)\:+\:ab}\)

Apart from the simple polynomial identities mentioned above, there are other identities of polynomials. Here are some of the most common polynomial identities used:

\(\color{blue}{\left(a\:+\:b\:+\:c\right)^2=\:a^2+\:b^2+\:c^2+\:2ab\:+\:2bc\:+\:2ca}\)
\(\color{blue}{\left(a\:+\:b\right)^3=\:a^3+\:3a^2b\:+\:3ab^2+\:b^3}\)
\(\color{blue}{\left(a\:−\:b\right)^3=\:a^3−\:3a^2b+\:3ab^2−\:b^3}\)
\(\color{blue}{\left(a\right)^3+\:\left(b\right)^3=\:\left(a\:+\:b\right)\left(a^2−\:ab\:+\:b^2\right)}\)
\(\color{blue}{\left(a\right)^3−\:\left(b\right)^3=\:\left(a\:−\:b\right)\left(a^2+\:ab\:+\:b^2\right)}\)
\(\color{blue}{\left(a\right)^3+\:\left(b\right)^3+\:\left(c\right)^3−\:3abc\:=\:\left(a\:+\:b\:+\:c\right)\left(a^2+\:b^2+\:c^2−\:ab\:−\:bc−ca\right)}\)
