 **Perfect squares:** $a^2 \pm 2ab + b^2 = (a \pm b^2)$  
 **Completing the square (monic):** $x^2+bx+c=(x+{b\over2})^2+c-{b^2\over4}$  
 **Completing the square (non-monic):** $ax^2+bx+c=a(x-{b\over2a})^2+c-{b^2\over4a}$

 #### Cubics
 **Difference of cubes:** $a^3 - b^3 = (a-b)(a^2 + ab + b^2)$  
 **Sum of cubes:** $a^3 + b^3 = (a+b)(a^2 - ab + b^2)$  
 **Perfect cubes:** $a^3 \pm 3a^2b + 3ab^2 \pm b^3 = (a \pm b)^3$
