For 1/2: a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)
For 3/4: Given Quadratic x^2 + bx + c, find two numbers d and e such that d•e = c and d+e = b, then the quadratic equals (x+d)(x+e)

Long answers:

  1. Given Quadratic ax^2 + bx + c, find two numbers d and e that sum to b and multiply to ac (so add to 3a, multiply to 4a^2)
    Then Quadratic equals (ax^2 + dx) + (ex + c)
    Use LCF and distribute property
    2/3) (a•b)/(c•d) = a/c • b/d

a^x = 1(a^(-x))

#

For 6/7/8: a^(b•c) = a^b • a^c

#

9/10 uses scientific notation, where a number is shown as a•10^b, where 1 <= a < 10 and b is some integer
