    8.6 Quadratic Expansion

    Quadratic rules for addition
    Now we are going to learn the quadratic rules for addition and we begin with an example:

    We can illustrate this in pictures, and now can see if we get the same results:
    3
    +
    		7
    3
    +
    7



    We calculate each part by itself:

    3 · 3
    +
    2(3 · 7)
     
    +
    		 7 · 7  
    32
    		 +
    2(3 · 7)
    		   + 72  
    9
    		 +
    42
    		   + 49 = 100

    We began with 102. The base 10 is divided into two terms, (3 + 7)2, and we see that it becomes:
     102 = (3 + 7)2 = 32 + 2(3 · 7) + 72 = 100.



    In certain books, you might see the quadratic rules for addition explained as follows:

    1. (7 + 3)² = (7 + 3)(7 + 3)



    4. (7 + 3)(7 + 3) = 49 + 21 + 21 + 9

    5. (7 + 3)² = 49 + 2 · 21 + 9

    6. (7 + 3)² = 49 + 42 + 9 = 100
     

    Quadratic rules for subtraction
    Now we continue with quadratic expansion for subtraction and we begin even here with an example:

    In the section, Algebra, in chapter 4, you can learn how to do algebraic multiplication. This knowledge is helpful to use when learning quadratic rules for subtraction. Algebraic multiplication looks as follows:

        10 -3  
       
    ·
    		 10 -3  
       
    		 
          9  
        -30    
    +
    		 100 -30    
     
    		 
      100 -60 + 9 = 49

    We can even write the last calculation by using powers, and then see that it looks like this:

    100
    -60
    + 9
    102
    - 2(10 ·  3)
    + 32

    We began with 72. We divided the base 10 into two terms, (10 - 3)2, and figured out that it becomes:
     72 = (10 - 3)2 = 102 - 2(10 · 3) + 32 = 49.


    In certain books, quadratic expansion for subtraction might look like this:

     1. (7 - 3)² = (7 - 3)(7 - 3)





    4. (7 - 3)(7 - 3) = 49 - 21 - 21 + 9

    5. (7 - 3)² = 49 - 2 · 21 + 9

    6. (7 - 3)² = 49 - 42 + 9 = 16



    We can summarise quadratic expansion as follows:
