Factorisation is a skill learned through a lot of practise. For questions with a coefficient of x, I like to use the 'House Method'.Step 1 - multiply the coefficient of x² with the constant. =3...

This is a question about completing the square of a quadratic equation. This is used to find the minimum point on a parabolic graph. A) Step 1 - set up the '(x – a)²' term by dividing the coeff...

Firstly we can see that this equation can be simplified. They are all divisible by 3 so this means we can simplify it to x^2 + 2x + 1 =0 Now we need to find what times together equals 1 but when added tog...

First factorise the quadratic: (2x + 1)(x + 3). Next set the factorised equation to 0: (2x + 1)(x + 3) = 0. Then solve the equation to find the 2 values of x, dividing through one br...
