The correct answer is

1584

The correct answer is 1584.

Understanding these identities is crucial for simplifying expressions, solving equations, and working with polynomials. The ability to derive one identity from another (like finding $\small a^2+b^2$ from $\small (a-b)^2$ and $\small ab$) is a key skill. Problems like this demonstrate how knowing a few basic relationships can help solve more complex expressions. Practice with various identities improves algebraic fluency and problem-solving speed.
