difference of squares


One of the most known and used formulas (http://planetmath.org/Equation) of mathematics is the one concerning the product of sum and difference:

(a+b)(a-b)=a2-b2(1)

This form may be used for multiplying any sum of two numbers (terms) by the difference of the same numbers (terms).

In the form

a2-b2=(a+b)(a-b)(2)

the formula is used for factoring binomials which are the difference of two squares.

(1) is sometimes called the conjugate rule, especially in articles written in Sweden (in Swedish: konjugatregel).

(1) is an identic equation for all numbers a,b and, more generally, for arbitrary elements a,b of any commutative ring.  Conversely, it is easy to justify that if (1) is true for all elements a,b of a ring, then the ring is commutativePlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath.  By the way, a+b and a-b also commute with each other in a non-commutative ring.
