Say you start with a general equation of x2+ax+b=0. (If the x2 has a coefficient the you will need to divide by that first.)

Factorising is just simplyfying into brackets. To do this you need to find common terms on all the parts of the question. For example: fully factorise 3a3b+12a2b2+...
Ok so to factorise a quadratic with a co-efficient in front of the x^2 you need to follow a couple of steps: Step 1 - multiple the co-efficient by the number at the end of the expression - e.g. 3^8 = 24 S...
Pythagoras' Theory explains that the length of sides in a right angled triangle are related. This means we can use the length of two sides to find that of the third!
The relationship he found is a<...
Start by writing the equation out again: x2 + 5x + 6 = 0
I do it by thinking which two numbers add together to = 5 and which same two numbers multiply to = 6. The an...
