We can only add probabilities when the events are alternatives. For example, let's say we want to calculate the probability that we achieve an A or a B or a C in a giv...

A quadratic equation is an equation that looks like:

x² + 4x - 2 = 0.

The general form of this is written as ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b and c are all...

For example: 5x +25

In order to factorise we need to find a common factor for both '5x' and '25'. This factor gets taken outside of the brackets.

For this example the common ...

x²+x-6=y

Is the equation we will use to demonstrate how to factorise quadratics.

The first step involves using the basic shape of all quadratic f...

In order to compare two equations they need to be in the same form. This means that the y's have to be on the left, and the x's have to be on the right - so the first step is to rearrange both of the e...
