CBSE Class 8 Mathematics Important Formulas – 2021

Maths Formulas for Class 8

Many students consider mathematics as a scary subject and math formulas are often difficult to remember when you don’t understand them well. The negative approach towards any subjects will make a student reluctant to study that particular subject.Usually students feel jittery during the exam time and they fail to give their best shot. To make things easier and guide through different concepts in Maths, we will discuss the important CBSE Class 8 math formulas here.

 Algebraic  Expansions:

    1. (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
    2. (a – b) = a2 – 2ab + b2
    3. (a + b) (a – b) = a2 – b2
    4. (x + a)(x + b) = x2 + (a + b)x + ab
    5.  (x + a)(x – b) = x2 + (a – b)x – ab
    6.  (x – a)(x + b) = x2 + (b – a)x – ab
    7.  (x – a)(x – b)  = x2 – (a + b)x + ab
    8.  (a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab(a + b)
    9.  (a – b)3  = a3 – b3 – 3ab (a – b)
   10. (x + y + z)2 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2xy + 2yz + 2xz
   11. (x + y – z)2  = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2xy – 2yz – 2xz
   12. (x – y + z)2 = x2 + y2 + z2 – 2xy – 2yz + 2xz

   13. (x – y – z)2  = x2 + y2 + z2 – 2xy + 2yz – 2xz
