Algebraic Expressions & Identities Formulas — Class 8 CBSE

Multiply polynomials, apply standard algebraic identities, and simplify expressions.

Key Formulas

Identity 1

(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

Identity 2

(a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2

Identity 3

(a + b)(a - b) = a^2 - b^2

Identity 4

(x + a)(x + b) = x^2 + (a + b)x + ab

Monomial x Monomial

3x \times 4y = 12xy

Monomial x Polynomial

a(b + c) = ab + ac

Worked Examples

1Using: Linear Equation

Solve 3x + 5 = 20.

Step 1: 3x = 20 - 5 = 15.

Step 2: x = 15 / 3 = 5.

Answer: x = 5

2Using: Algebraic Identity

Expand (a + 3)^2.

Step 1: Using (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

Step 2: = a^2 + 6a + 9.

Answer: a^2 + 6a + 9
