1. a2 b2 = ( a + b)(a b )
2. a3 b3 = ( a b )(a2 + ab + b2)
3. a3 + b3 = ( a + b )(a2 - ab + b2)
4. a4 b4 = (a2 b2)( a2 + b2) = ( a + b)(a b ) )( a2 + b2)
5. a5 b5 = ( a b)(a4 + a3b + a2b2 + ab3 + b4)
6. a5 + b5 = ( a + b)(a4 - a3b + a2b2 - ab3 + b4)
7. If n is odd, then
an + bn = ( a + b)(an-1 an-2b + an-3b2 - - abn-2 + bn-1).
