Quick Reference

• Factorising quadratics
  This leaflet explains how quadratic expression can be factorised by inspection.
• Factorising quadratics
  This leaflet shows how to take a quadratic expression and factorise it. Special cases of complete squares and difference of two squares are dealt with on other leaflets.
• Factorising the difference of two squares
  There is a special case of quadratic expression known as the difference of two squares. This leaflet explains what this means and how such expressions are factorised.

Video

A transcript of each video should be available in the Teach Yourself section above.

These videos require Windows Media Player (v10).

Please note: You may experience trouble with more recent upgrades to Internet Explorer (now v.7) and Media Player (now v.11). These no longer support streaming from the mms servers used by mathcentre, so we are recommending that you uninstall IE7 (IE6 lies underneath) and replace the new version of WMP with the fully functioning v.10 (you may need to find a download via google after uninstalling v.11). All those that have done this have reported back that everything is working again.

• Factorising Quadratic Equations
  An essential skill in many applications is the ability to factorise quadratic expressions. In this unit you will see that this can be thought of as reversing the process used to ‘remove’ or 'multiply-out’ brackets from an expression. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)
